I was heading to DC for three weeks for work so naturally spent a long time picking where I should stay. Raian and Begona's place is beautiful, clean, and has everything you would need for an extended stay - washing machine, iron, cooking equipment. The hosts were wonderful and incredibly communicative. And the house is just a 40min walk or $5 uber into town. Shaw is a very cool area - try Big Bear Cafe and Red Hen! Will definitely come and stay again when I'm next in DC :)
