Rae was a great host, with all the information needed about the area and a no-hassles approach to it all. Provided some unexpectedly good coffee for the USA, that was a great start to the day. We crossed paths in the evenings / night when my conference session and events had ended, and talking with Rae about the area, a little politics of the USA, travel and restaurants was very informative. I was able to share great places to travel to in Australia. Her lovely cats were no problem at all, well behaved and unobtrusive. The listing was as expected, the bedroom was bright and clean, good bed, and wireless more than adequate for my needs. This part of Adams Morgan felt very safe and was full of life (mostly younger than me, but all gentle, cool, and fun). A supermarket half a block away for any personal supplies. I felt safe all the time, even very late. Highly recommended
