My sister and I stayed with Ethel for a weekend trip to DC. Although we did not see her much, as we got up early to head out and got back late, she was very accommodating and friendly! We were able to use her backyard space to workout one morning and keep some food in her fridge. The room is a comfortable size for two and the bed was comfy—although I would recommend to bring your own pillow if you can. Her place is located about 10-15 min walk to the Eastern Market metro station where there are also great food places and the eastern market shops open on Saturdays (our personal favorites were Pitango Gelato and Ambar). There was also a cute cafe about 5 min away from Ethel's that is open on the weekends that we would stop by on our way to the metro to get coffee and a small breakfast! Great location and comfortable place to stay—I would definitely recommend Ethel!
