We thoroughly enjoyed our Washington, D.C. vacation and much was due to staying with Heather and the location of her home. We were able to use the bus system most of the time or Lyft in a pinch. There is a Safeway very close by and of course many restaurants. Hype is a suitable breakfast place on the way to the bus stop. Paraiso restaurant is outstanding in both its food and service. On this second visit to DC, we were able to see most places were still had on our "list." Anyone will be fortunate to use this excellent home and hostess as homebase.
