Mala's place is really nice. The room is very large and we loved the private bathroom. It was colder than we expected while in DC and she was very sweet and lent my mother an extra robe of hers. I wish it was warmer outside so we could have taken advantage of her massive backyard, which is so pretty.

The location is decent, I really liked the residential area. It is a bit removed from most of the places you'd want to check out in DC but that is absolutely not an issue with having Uber. Uber is so affordable in DC it's cheaper than taking mass transit for the most part, with Uber Pool. If you enjoy walking it is only a 50 minute walk to the National Mall area.

Her neighborhood in general has local restaurants to choose from nearby, an amazing coffee shop with breakfast, so you can find somewhere to sort yourself before heading into the center of DC. Also, if you do choose to take the Metro, it is just a 15 minute walk.

I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
