Rose and Billy are wonderful hosts. They are very welcoming, make you feel right at home, and can answer questions on all kinds of things about the area and the city. You can walk in and take the elevator right up to your room, or spend a while in the spacious kitchen and living room to visit, as you choose. Your "room" includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a sitting room with a couch and TV. There's also a balcony out onto the roof to enjoy the warm weather. It's an easy walk to the Metro, groceries, and a gamut of restaurants and shopping. It's simple to take the Metro to the Smithsonian, to National Airport, and to Union Station, as well as lots of other places. Highly recommended!
