You will be made comfortable during your entire stay. If you find that you forgot something or that you need an additional supply while you're there, just ask and be sure you'll be well cared for. Our weather wasn't the best, but we were still able to walk to some wonderful restaurants and even a couple of theaters within a two or three block area. The Metro buses run from a stop right behind the house. The train stations are farther (1/4 mile, maybe?) and during nice weather, it would be an interesting walk. Prepare to have a unique time with interesting, kind, well-educated and traveled folks who sure seem to love what they do.
