For my 1st time coming to DC to stay I was really happy with staying with Barbara! Her home is LOVELY and the pictures are exactly what you see and get! Barbara was also an awesome host. She was willing to help out if I needed. We had chats about the things I did during the day. Though I didnt get the chance to see the historic house right around the corner from her, I know that If i have a chance to go to DC again, I wouldnt mind staying with her again.
