I spent a week in DC and staying at Mary's place made me feel like I wanted to stay for 4 more weeks! Mary was in communication with me before I even arrived in DC, which made me feel at ease and comfortable about staying at her place. The room was perfect, just as described and pictured. I especially loved having the desk in the room! It made it so convenient and comfortable for me to get my work done! Mary's place is also right on the X8 bus line and super close to Union Station. The street is quiet and pretty secure. The next block over has great food places and a vibrant night life. I truly loved my stay at Mary's place and would definitely stay there again. She is just so sweet and accommodating! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
