Heather is a first-class host. I loved having conversations with her about DC life, politics, and our various travels - I was travelling alone and she really made me feel welcome instantly, whilst also giving me my own space at all times. She went out of her way with advice about things to see and do - much appreciated.
Her place is beautiful - as expected from the pictures - and a perfect, quiet retreat despite being so central. Being able to have a bath and watch the moon through the skylight after long days of walking was a definite treat. Her cat and dog are both friendly and there is plenty of space to relax.
Walking to the metro, library of Congress, Supreme Court, US Capitol, and Eastern Market (loads of great stalls on Sunday), could not have been easier.
Will definitely be staying here when I return to D.C.
