We did not meet Eric during our stay but still feel like we know him from staying at his lovely place. His row house is neat & so close to national mall, we were able to walk most places or to mass transit so car was not needed, very much appreciated. Also, this was our first AirB&B, so Eric got the pleasure of texting & emailing me through a dozen logistical questions. He was exceptionally quick with answers. As others noted, there are no curtains on the windows which was not a problem for us. The street is a busy street but this should be anticipated given the proximity to the Capitol. If we make it back to DC we will stay here again.
