Dawn's house is located in a residential neighborhood next to Rock Creek Park, a couple of blocks off of 16th street. The location made catching the bus into downtown DC very convenient. The house is also a mile away from Silver Spring station, so I could have taken the metro, if I really wanted to.
Dawn is a consummate hostess. Discrete, knowledgeable and multi-lingual, she was there to make sure that everything was as it should be.

My stay was short, but I look forward to going back to Dawn's house and biking through Rock Creek Park.
