We stayed at Robin's house two times in a span of a week or so - before heading to Phili and NYC and afterwards. Second time around it was like going home already. Robin appeared as a very friendly and considerate person. The house has somewhat of a bohemian feel about it and a lot of colour. It was conveniently located for the bus trips to the center, with a direct route running to the Archives. The Columbia Heights neighbourhood has nice grills where you can get traditional grits, half-smokes etc to start you off in the morning.
