Greta’s place is excellent and a great value. The house is situated on a high hill in Anacostia, and from its deck you can take in breathtaking views of the river and the capitol. Inside, the house is beautifully decorated with Buddhist touches, the kitchen is well-stocked with essentials and utensils, and the two rooms available are both comfortable and well-accommodated. Everything was super clean and the I felt at home throughout my stay. I would recommend Greta’s place to anyone traveling to DC.
I know some people might feel Anacostia is a bit far from the rest of DC or less safe than other DC neighborhoods might be, but DC is not that big, and today’s Anacostia is not 1980s Anacostia. Moreover, there is no community in DC with more history, character, and natural beauty to offer than Anacostia. Because of this, I don’t think any trip to DC is complete without a visit to Anacostia. So, don’t be reticent, cross the river, and stay at Greta’s! :)
