I had a wonderful stay with Ethel! Everything went smoothly, and she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. She's a very gracious host and a lovely person to meet. My previous host kindly referred me to Ethel, and Ethel was very quick to respond and very flexible. The room is nice with antique furniture, and the bathroom is right next door. The street is very quiet, so I slept very well. I can only echo previous reviewers in affirming that the location is perfect, very close to Potomac Ave station (ca. a 10-min walk)! It's mostly residential with families, but you also see the occasional hipsters here and there (and I mean that in the nicest way possible!). I definitely felt safe and found my way around quickly in the neighborhood. There's a Safeways supermarket nearby for groceries, which is very convenient. I hope to get to stay with Ethel again during my next trip.
