Great host though we did not meet personnaly. The place is exactly as described. theres a convenience store at the gasoline station nearby if you need some quick food. washington dc is quite pricey for me. but the rate is just fair. out in the streets, there are some individuals who are loitering around but they would not bother you directly. its in the main street and easily accesible by public tranportation. the host was very accomodating through telephone conversation that allowed me to store my luugage for a few hours after my check out.
