I recently stayed at Mary's place for three nights and it provided everything I needed for a wonderful trip to Washington DC. The location was excellent, a lovely leafy, quiet and safe area with beautiful historic homes. But at the same time a vibrant and interesting cafe and restaurant area five minutes walk away. Public transport was plentiful with a free street car to Union Station and many other buses available. I actually walked to the Capitol on the first day. Communication with Mary was easy and immediate. Advice on how to reach her place was simple to follow and check in was easy. Mary's home was spotless and the room very comfortable. The shared kitchen was ideal and I loved chatting to Mary there. She shared her knowledge and advice generously. I would highly recommend Mary's place and would love to return myself.
