Sandra's place fit my needs very well. It was a perfect distance from the Library of Congress and the Metro. The neighborhood was safe and awesome - as long as you don't mind people walking their cute dogs, parents pushing strollers, and runners scooting by under tree-lined streets. On top of that, Sandra was the host I needed. She left me alone to do my thing but was available to answer questions. She is a very kind soul who seems to enjoy turning strangers into friends.
