We stayed here Feb 2012 and it was great! The hospitality was amazing. Paulette was like our personal assistant - even though we really did not expect it. She provided metrocards, maps, bus schedules, directions above and beyond what we asked. We could walk to the bus stop which went to the metro, or walk further/drive to the metro (a few min drive away). We also went for runs in the nearby park (walking distance). Prior to the trip, we were asked if we had and dietary restrictions for breakfast and I mentioned we were vegan and gluten free - but not to worry as we usually just get food on our own. Paulette looked up every food company available online, and we had vegan gluten free delicious waffles and cereal, along with almond/rice milk! The home is clean, cozy and inviting - and it was great to just chill out in the family room. We enjoyed the parrot and 2 cats.
