When I arrived Michelle & Elmar welcomed me in their lovely urban garden (between their Victorian home and their Carriage House) with a pot of tea (probably 3 pots) and we chatted & shared travel stories & garden tips. Their home is lovely, comfortable, and welcoming; an oasis with lots of character. The neighborhood was convenient to the Metro and offered many good eateries (I ate at 2 different Thai restaurants) and a great grocery store. The room is comfortable & spacious enough and the full 1st floor and kitchen are also available. They helped me negotiate the Metro; taught me how to use Uber rides, and Google Map. All of this helped my D.C. visit be more enjoyable and stress-free. Great coffee and oatmeal available in the morning! I definitely recommend a stay with Michelle and Elmar!
