Travis was a polite and responsive host, so I had no anxiousness about our arrival or stay. Check-in was easy. The location was the BEST! We brought our bikes and used them throughout our whole stay. You can see the Capitol from the street, it's that close. We just biked up there and straight over to the Mall--even with two kids we had no trouble accessing all the museums on bikes. The master bedroom was very comfortable. The back patio is a private and lovely space. We had 6 people in total- 4 people in the living room. This is tight but we are close and it worked fine for us. The hard futons were not sleepable for adults, so my two friends had to use the blow up mattress, which was also not comfortable, although better. The kids used one of the futons. Travis has a plan in place to replace the futons and improve the soundproofing, as a basement apartment in an old home can be noisy. After these improvements, we will be seeking out Travis' home again during our next visit.
