Heather was a gracious and helpful host. For the first-time visitor to Washington, she has compiled a long list of places to see and things to do with website addresses for additional information. She was pretty available for questions and recommendations when needed. And the accommodations turned out to be exactly as described... and a bit more. The pictures show the house accurately, but it was more spacious than I realized, and the house was thoughtfully designed. For the art-lover her house was brimming with paintings prints and figurines from all over the world. The bathroom was spacious and opulent. I like eating in, and the kitchen was readily available to prepare my meals. And there is a lap pool in the back which was a nice surprise. I cooled off in it at the end of one long, hot day of walking and sight-seeing - another plus for staying here.
The bed was comfortable and the neighborhood was very quiet, so I slept well. The only thing less than positive thing that I could say is that it would have been nice to be a little closer to the Metro (four blocks away), especially after a long day of walking. In reality, this is really a minor point and just a personal preference. But it is not a big enough issue to be a deal-breaker, and with all the positive features her house offers, I would definitely stay here again.
