Highly recommend! I spent two months at Chris’ place while I was working in DC. I wanted to stay with lovely and interesting people who respect the need for privacy (and the fact that I had to get up very early and sometimes also work the weekends). I got that 100%. Chris is a great guy who is eager to fulfill every wish. He doesn’t only hold your hand while you figure out DC, he also makes sure to host other great people. The house is located in the popular neighborhood Shaw with lots of great restaurants and bars. It’s 20 minutes walking distance to the National Mall and only 5 minutes to the next metro station. The house itself is old, but very lovely. It tells lots of great stories!
