Heather's home is exactly how she described. My bedroom and bathroom were quite spacious. Two people would easily have enough space.
It's a short walk to the metro and amenities (grocery stores, resteraunts, ice cream). The neighborhood is quiet and the interior courtyard and pool in the back yard are a nice oasis from the city.
With many museums opening at 9-10 am, I could have a leasureliy breakfast at home then catch the metro to my destination. The Capitol and Library of Congress are 20-30 minutes walking distance. Eastern Market is in the neighborhood as is the Marine Barracks for free Friday night concert/events. I felt safe walking in the neighborhood at night as a single woman traveling.
I had full use of the kitchen which was helpful for making a meal or heating up leftovers.
Heather is a wealth of DC knowledge and quick to respond to questions. She is a wonderful host.
