Heather's place is an exceptional retreat in the midst of Washington, D.C. Her home is stylishly designed and decorated with wonderful, diverse art and artifacts. Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The bed has a foam mattress pad that made it very comfortable for sleeping. The adjoining bathroom is large and stylish. Double sinks make it easy for two people to wash up at the same time. (The bedroom has a large screen TV, but we're not TV watchers and didn't use it. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi, but we didn't have time to use it.)
Heather made us feel comfortable in her living room and kitchen and let us keep our perishables in her refrigerator. She also let us park our van in her garage -- tight squeeze, but it fit -- which saved us loads of hassle dealing with on-street parking. Her home is about a five minute walk to the Eastern Market subway stop, which made navigating the City easy.
On top of it all, Heather is a gracious, welcoming host. Her dog, Archie, was a delight to play with. (Heather has a cat, too; but we kept our distance due to allergies.)
Heather provided detailed instructions for finding her home and checking in. We paid close attention, and her directions were perfect. She also provided a long list of things to do in D.C., together with links to webpages for each of them.
All in all, a great stay.
