When I look for a place to stay in a new city, the first priority is safety and next is proximity to public transportation and grocery stores. Wayne's place was safe and a 3 minute walk to the metro and 10 minutes on a train to just about anywhere in the city. The kitchen was SO well stocked-there were literally enough to make home made chocolate chip cookies-from scratch. There was no detail overlooked...a sewing kit? Got it. Fresh fruit and goodies in fridge-yup. All kinds of teas and coffee makings. My son is going to let me get rid of his king-sized bed so he can get a comfy one like Wayne's -the topper is memory foam and so amazing. I almost a new fan of the Cherry Blossom wine from Trader Joe's. If we ever go to the city, that is the only place I will book. No need to look further. Like any big city, there is some street noise, but not enough to keep you up or wake you up. He also has a fully stocked library for out of the way DC icons and tours. It's the best!
