Very interesting architecture and interior design in a house where you can feel at home and still have a lot of privacy and independence. Heather shares her house with ease, making you feel more like her roommate, then a guest.
A cat and a dog are happy to see you, whenever they meet you. As I am allergic to cats, I had to take antihistamine, but enjoyed very much meeting these furry friends at every encounter.
No breakfast is served, but the kitchen - a wonderfully equipped kitchen - is available for you to use. There is also room in the fridge for you to store your food and drinks.
The Capitol Hill neighborhood is very pretty and safe during the day.
The nearest metro station is Eastern Market, with many restaurants ( a new favorite is Ambar with Serbian cuisine served as tapas during lunch time! ), coffee shops, two grocery stores (Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter) and a pharmacy (CVS) near it and a substantial number of homeless people. I was told by friends not to use that metro station at night, but rather to hire taxis, Uber and Lyft.
The location is great because you are in walking distance to the Union Station and to the main tourist locations. There are also city bikes you can rent around there and the trusty Circulator bus with three different itineraries bringing you at no cost or nominal fee, depending on the season, with usb chargers to recharge your phone or device while taking in the scenery.
I loved my stay there and hope to return many times in the future!
