Sima is the best hostess I’ve ever stayed with! Her home was comfortable and the neighborhood is charming and quiet. The location is perfect to get anywhere in the area for sightseeing, work, and only a 5 minute walk to AU campus! I couldn’t have chosen better for my solo trip, but the house would easily accommodate a family for college visits or a DC vacation. Two or three guests can share Sima’s spacious garden apartment and walk out to a beautiful, private back yard. The main level is open with all the family living amenities and a wonderful, open view of the back garden. You can have coffee on the deck and watch the deer (or the foxes if you’re a night owl). Upstairs bedrooms are really comfortable with their own baths.
I’d give Sima the highest recommendation for your hostess in DC!
