Staying at Robin's place was awesome! She and the people in her house were really easy to get along with, in my down time I was quite happy sitting in their place while they were having dinner, or playing with their dog, or talking to everyone.

Robin is also a great resource if you're interested in what to do in Washington, whether it comes to the standard tourist stuff or if you want to see where everyone drinks coffee or what you should check out in the hip non-downtown neighbourhoods.
