Staying at Chris' place complemented my visit to DC. The location was perfect for me. The National Mall is within walking distance in an area I felt safe in. A cab from the train station is maybe $6-7. Whole Foods is a few blocks away so I packed lunches and did not need to eat out at all. A metro station is about 6 blocks away, and that line goes straight to DCA (Regan Airport) with no transfer. The room is good-sized and the private bathroom very clean. Chris has two roommates and the house felt laid back and safe for me as a woman traveling alone. Chris is friendly and helpful and his two soft golden retrievers are the best! Thank you.
