Mary was a terrific host. Always swift in responding to any queries and happy to provide tips for places to eat locally. As for the room, completely as pictured, and spotlessly clean. The room is well located, only 5 minutes walk to fashionable H Street- which has plenty of cool bars and places to eat. From here you can also get the free streetcar straight to the centre of DC in 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend Mary's place if you're looking for a great place to be based whilst visiting the city.
