Sheri is a wonderful host. She is warm, friendly and goes out of her way to assist with transportation, restaurant choices and everything you need for a safe and useful stay in DC. The house is lovely. It's an older house - built in 1929, I think, and is filled with original features and quirky charm. I traveled with a colleague and we each had our own room and own bathroom on the top floor with plenty of privacy. Sheri went out of her way to accommodate us. She started coffee an hour earlier than her usual schedule, for instance, to fit our needs. She had a light breakfast laid out each morning, so it was ready when we got up. I felt completely at home - much like staying with a friend.

The neighborhood is filled with beautiful houses. It's convenient to the Metro, so it's easy to get around the city and to and from the airport - even for a newbie.
