Greta is a wonderful host. She is a very educated and lovely person. I stood in her home for a month - I was researching at the National Anthropological Archives of the Smithsonian Institution, in Suitland, MA - and I got there with almost no practice in English, but she knew how make me comfortable, helping me a lot in my adaptation to the US way of live and being respectful with my privacy all the time. Every time I needed Greta showed me how to get in the places that I was looking for and was a kind person all that time. All the Anacostian people I met was very kind with me, and was really good to me be able to interact with them - especially with Greta's friends. Anacostia is a beautiful historic place, with the great Frederick Douglass House and others museums and art centers, that needs only a little more care by the government, which interests are turned only to the power center in downtown. The Greta's home is very close to the subway Green Line and has a awesome view to the Capitol and Anacostia River, and Greta made me feel welcome to access all the common spaces of her always clean house - a great and big historical one. Finally, Greta's home has everything you need for a long stay and to be safe, sound and happy in Washington DC - included a big room, silence, birds in the trees, complete bathroom always available and all the things that are just like the ad. I will miss Greta and Washington DC...
