I stayed in Heather's home for a week, and had an excellent experience. "Luxurious" is an apt description of the bedroom: A very good king sized-bed in a room with hardwood floors covered by Oriental carpets and walls decorated with mostly modern art, family mementos and ethnic craft objects from around the world. The adjoining bathroom is similarly styled, but with a tile floor, and features a large shower. The rest of her home has a similar character. The house has an interesting layout for its neighborhood. It is mostly on one story, and is designed so that most of the rooms look into an open interior area with a garden and pond.

I ate most meals out, but the kitchen and adjacent breakfast room are modern and well-equipped.

The wifi connection always worked for me. There are several networks in the house, and occasionally I needed to switch from one to another to get the best signal.

Heather's home is conveniently located about four easily-walked blocks from the Eastern Market Metro station and many restaurants and shops. The neighborhood itself is residential, and mostly consists of well-maintained row-houses. The streets are well-lighted at night, and I felt completely safe there.

I was very sorry not to be able to meet Heather personally, as she was out of town during my stay. Her friend and employee, Joe, was around most days and was very friendly and helpful. So, I felt very well cared-for.

In sum, I would certainly like to stay with Heather again, and I recommend it without any hesitation.
