We stayed at Ruth E.'s place for about 6 weeks and it was absolutely wonderful. It's in an amazing location just near the metro, there are tons of places to eat and visit, the apartment is exactly as described and has all the amenities you need for a longer stay, and Ruth E and Lisa are incredibly responsive and gracious hosts who provided a lot of insight about DC. We couldn't have chosen a better place for our extended stay and highly recommend staying with them.
