Greta's 2-story historical home is uniquely decorated with Buddhist influenced art and colorful touches. Greta really is a superhost; generous, funny, and does all she can to make you comfortable in her home. I especially appreciated the "no-shoe policy", just like my own home. The walk up to Greta's house is not bad with a steep, but short trek uphill, which is good exercise for the glutes! It is only a short 10-minute walk downhill to the Anacostia Metro station, but there are many buses you can catch at the bottom of the hill if you don't feel like walking all the way to the station. I also enjoyed the neighborhood and speaking to the locals on my morning walks to work during my 30-day stay, gave me a touch of nastalgia for my college days in DC. If you want to save money and cook during long visits, her kitchen is fully stocked with all that you'll need as far as cooking equipment and dishes are clean and plentiful. Greta keeps a clean house but sharing a bathroom was difficult for me since I'm super picky about bathroom spaces and icky stuff like other people's hair. Greta made an effort to wipe the bathrooms down regularly and I appreciate that. When she was out of town during my last week, sharing the bathroom space was more of a challenge for me. The bedroom is directly next door to Greta's room and close to another bedroom that is rented out upstairs, so it's not a ton of privacy, but Greta gives you as much personal space as you require. There is an AC unit in the upstairs guest bedroom which keeps that room nice and cool, but only fans throughout the rest of the house, so it gets really hot and humid inside during the summer season since the house does not have central air. That made it difficult for me to comfortably use the shared spaces on hot days, including the kitchen and bathrooms. All in all, I would recommend Greta's place for milder seasons, like Spring or Fall for those who are heat-sensitive like me or those planning a long-term stay. I did enjoy getting to know Greta and appreciate her lending full use of her home to me during my stay!
