Let me start by saying: Sara's place is awesome! But I digress to break it down...
THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Quiet, clean with plenty of free parking and directly across the street from a public transportation (bus stop). You can tell this is an up and coming neighborhood. Very close to the H Street Corridor which has a variety of great restaurants. Sara has a (laminated!) guide which provides a brief overview of the neighborhood eats, etc. Main DC attractions are a 15 minute car ride way.
THE PLACE: Clean, well decorated (and I mean well decorated -either she or some she knows is an interior designer...or should be if they are not) , and fully stocked with necessary amenities and even snacks. Sara gave us a brief walk through of her place and was really thorough and friendly. We did not want for anything! Such a great value and overall better experience than a hotel...it felt like a cool little home.
I highly recommend her place!
