My stay at Miriam's home was charming, peaceful and extremely welcoming. Miriam was very flexible with my arrival and departure times. She responded quickly to all communication. The bedroom I stayed in was exactly as described and perfectly clean and peaceful. Miriam does have a pet dog and cat however they are very well behaved and do not bother the guests. My conversations with Miriam were brief but extremely pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend Miriam to anyone else or to stay here again myself during my next trip to DC.
