Ethel was a great host. We had a great room with a very comfortable bed and use of the bathroom right outside the room. Ethel even went so far as to get a parking permit for us while we were staying with her. Her place is well located and close enough to walk to all the attractions. It's two small blocks from the subway station, the supermarket and in close distance to the Eastern Markets. I would recommend staying with Ethel if you plan to visit Washington DC and we would certainly stay with her again. Thanks Ethel!
