Heather and Vasa made my trip to DC so easy! I arrived before my room was ready but just dropped off my bag in the living room and headed into DC, the subway stop just a 10min walk away. Likewise, on my final day I left my bag at the house before picking it up later for my late night flight. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. Both Heather and Vasa made me feel very welcome and there were some lovely fellow guests in the other room that is rented out. Don't miss the National Postal Museum just next to Union Station which is on the walk into DC from the house. This area is now very close to a business district and feels very safe, though I did take a cab home after dark as I was on my own and there were a few unusual characters about! I would definitely stay here were I to come back to DC (and see all the museums I missed!)
