Penny's place was the perfect home for our stay in DC. We loved that it was close to a grocery store and that several restaurants were within walking distance. It's also about a 10 minute walk to a metro station, so we were able to see all the DC sights with relative ease.
We can tell Penny takes pride in the comfort of her guests. The bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living areas were clean and we had everything we needed while away from home. While we did not cook, Penny does provide some basic utensils and cookware which would probably be suitable for a light meal. The counter space was a little cramped, but the short space did not take away from the convenience of having a kitchen to use.
Penny was a great host and we would love to stay with her again should we have the opportunity. She was respectful of privacy and was responsive to our needs. We would recommend anyone looking for a place to stay while touring DC to consider Penny's place.
