Audrey's home was just as expected, if not better! Although I had booked it for my friend, and did not stay there personally, he could not have been happier with his experience, and I was very impressed with the cleanliness and creature comforts that were there when I visited. Although it was below street level, there was a small outdoor space in front of the house, which was a nice place to sit, relax, and chat.

For a first time DC visitor, the neighborhood can feel a bit out of the way, but the Metro is quite accessible, and the neighborhood certainly does not lack a ton of restaurants, bars, and great culture. In fact, at night my friend didn't have much of a desire to venture too far from all that 14th and 11th street have to offer. I think Columbia Heights provides a much better feel for the 'real' DC than does staying downtown.

Thanks Audrey for being such an amenable host. I will certainly be recommending your place to friends who come to town
