I was in DC for just one night and wanted a place close in. Miriam replied to my booking request in 14 hours and answered my other questions promptly. She alerted me that she would be away the day I booked and checked if it was ok that her friend Raj would be there. Fine with me so I booked.
Miriam's place was easy to get to and she provided a parking permit that allowed me to park right out front. Raj was a perfect host -- friendly and knowledgeable. He showed me around then let me settle in. The room was cosy but not tiny. There's room for a bed, desk and comfy chair. (oh and a book shelf) There's a small window AC unit but the room was cool enough with the windows open so I never used it. Towels and Wifi were provided. The mattress was firm (maybe more firm than I like) but can't complain because I fell to sleep quickly. Miriam has a dog and cat. They're friendly but not overly affectionate and not barky.
Definitely would book again! Close to town but far enough away to get a quiet nights sleep with the windows open.
