First off Jim and Kat were the best hosts that we have ever had!!! The communication was great, any questions we had Jim responded to them in a quickly manner. Their place was even better in person than the photos everything was so clean when we arrived there. We even had a bottle of wine and some apples waiting for us; the jucuzzi was huge and the bed is so comfortable from all the traveling we had been doing that day this was definitely what we needed. The location is literally walking distance to all the main areas such as the National Mall, Capital, and everything else we wanted to see. There are a lot of local restaurants in the neighborhood and a supermarket that by the way makes really good sandwiches right down the street from Jim and Kat's place. The guide that Jim and Kat provided really helped us decide what we wanted to do and Jim also helped us with some good food restaurant choices when we arrived. We definitely know where we will be staying next time we come to Washington! I definitely recommend staying with Jim and Kat!! They made our 2 day vacation very relaxing!!
