Elia is a great host, made me feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We had a nice chat with another family member of his who was visitng the home at the time of my stay. The room is spacious and has pretty much all you need. The house is located on a busy corner, but I didn't find it to be overly loud. The neighborhood can be a bit shady at times, but overall I felt fine staying in the area, especially considering the rate and the proximity to DC center. I would recommend Elia's home for your stay.
