We had an amazing stay at Elmar and Michelle's house! It is warm, cozy, clean, comfortable and we felt so welcome! It is also well located in DC, we almost did everything by foot, but we are used to walk a lot. If you don't want to walk you can take an uber for 3-5 dollars to go to the Mall.
We didn't have the chance to meet Elmar but Michelle was such a fantastic host, she was so kind and so helpful for everything. She really cares about you and how you feel in her house and she makes you feel like you are at home!
We highly recommend this unique place in DC!
