The Nelson's were a joy to stay with! Henrike was very attentive throughout the entire time my friend and I stayed in her house. The entire family was very warm and welcoming and were just upstairs if we needed anything. We enjoyed getting to know their adorable daughter and their friendly cat. Henrike and her husband provided us with multiple suggestions of places to get dinner in the neighborhood and reached out to us during the day to make sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was perfect. The national mall was a 10 minute drive away, the zoo was about 15 minutes, and there were plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood to choose from. We felt safe walking around at night as it was a very family friendly neighborhood. The house was very clean, we had all the amenities we needed, there was even tea and coffee available. Henrike also gave us delicious chocolate for our trip back. Overall the Nelsons are incredible hosts and anyone would be lucky to stay with them
