Heather was terrific in giving lots of advance information and also closer to the time. However nothing prepared us for how amazing this house is and how wonderful a host Heather is. In fact she is so lovely that we cancelled all activity on our second day and just stayed "home" to enjoy the house and our wide-ranging conversation with her. Having said that,the house is an easy walk to the Metro and to the supermarket. We loved having full access to the kitchen and the chance to do our laundry. Thanks so much Heather. This is just what I dreamed the airbnb experience could be.
