Our hosts happened to be outside their home when we arrived and made us feel very welcome, also checked in via e-mail the next day and chatted us up whenever we crossed paths.
The location is excellent. The neighborhood has a lot to offer. It is in a location that is central to seeing DC, with the metro stop on the next block and great proximity to the Capital and National Mall. Great restaurant options within walking distance. Enjoyed time at the table in the front yard.
