The room we stayed in in Rose's house was great! The neighborhood is nice, feels safe, and quiet. It's a cool part of town with really cool older brownstone homes, lots of good restaurants nearby, and interesting history. We didn't use the metro or bus while we were there, we mostly walked, biked or Ubered, but from what I understand there is public transportation very close and easy to get to. The check-in process was super easy and convenient. The room was bigger than I expected, with a large closet, and a large bathroom right next door. There was a basket of clean towels and washcloths waiting for us in the room, and clean comfortable sheets and pillows. The bed was very comfortable as well. We were grateful for the fast wifi and the oscillating fan, as it was a bit warm, being the middle of Summer. Rose was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She was kind enough to let us keep our bags at the house for a few hours after checkout, as we had a later flight. Rose's house is only about 3 miles north of the National Mall, Lincoln Memorial, White House, all the things that we wanted to see during our short weekend trip. The price was great for being that close to everything. We even walked home one night. Thank you Rose for everything!
