Barbara is a good host! She gave a lot suggestions on how to get around DC. The place is 12 min walk to metro and there is bus stop within 5 min walk so it's very accessible. The place was very clean and as shown in pictures. However, it's not the safest place to walk around at night. The police sirens go on throughout the night. Although we didn't get to meet Barbara, she was always prompt in answering any questions and making sure we were doing okay.
