The hostess with the mostess-- why this couple isn't already Superhosts is beyond me. I had the best time at Paulette and Larry's. So much so I recommended them to my travel group. I felt welcomed from the very beginning with the correspondence before my stay. Paulette gave detailed directions for taking the metro from the airport to the station nearest her home. She picked me up from the metro stop and offered to drop me off at my location in the mornings. I was in Washington for an intensive four day bellydance workshop. During the evening of my last night's stay, I came 'home' to find a gift waiting for me-- incense, a gorgeous hip scarf, and a card. How thoughtful! That night I experienced great conversation, a glass of wine, and the feeling that I was hanging out with well traveled friends instead of renting a room with strangers. If you truly want a home away from home, stay here!
