Heather is a warm and welcoming hostess who made us feel right at home immediately. Our bedroom and bathroom were both spotlessly clean, with lots of closet space, very comfortable beds, and a well appointed bathroom with a great shower! Her kitchen was ours to use for breakfasts and "picnic" dinners. Having a grocery store 2 blocks away was a huge plus. Also a plus was the location, close to the Eastern Market Metro, with convenient train service to the Smithsonian and to Reagan National Airport (DCA). Here are several things you should know: first, this is a basement room with no windows, but with ample lighting and a great fan. Second, bring your own shower soap/gel and shampoo. Last, your bathroom is through the downstairs gym and up half a flight of stairs, through the doggie gate. This could be an issue for folks with mobility issues. Heather also lists a main floor room with a queen bed and private bath. It was occupied during our stay, so we didn't get to see it. We loved our stay with Heather, would recommend this accommodation, and would definitely return.
