After spending 3 months in Miriam's wonderfully cozy room I have to say that she was an integral part of making my stay in DC enjoyable. Her cat and dog are extremely cute and well-behaved, Miriam's advice, whether on sightseeing, shopping or cultural differences, helped me a lot to figure out my way around DC, and her patience with my early departures and late arrivals during working days was admirable. Thank you again, Miriam, for being such a great host!
