Kathleen is a fantastic host, and I couldn't recommend her with more enthusiasm. On top of that the house and the room were both very beautiful and comfortable.
I was in Washington to visit with legislators about funding basic research and my schedule was very busy. Kathleen was very understanding of this and I was able to come and go from the house easily without feeling like I was being a bother. Being just blocks away from the Capitol and the Capitol South metro station was enormously convenient as well.
When I finally did have a few minutes of down time, Kathleen shared some stories about the history behind the house and the neighborhood that were truly fascinating.
When I checked out, Kathleen graciously let me keep my bags in her living room while I finished up some meetings, and she even washed some clothes for me that I had clumsily forgotten in the room hamper while I was away.
Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. The location is great and Kathleen is so friendly, it really added to the experience. The next time I need a place to stay in this part of town, I'll look here first.
