They were very flexible with my check-in/out times.

I checked in the morning around 10 am and they had breakfast (pancakes, bacon, fresh fruit, juice) and coffee for me upon my arrival.

The bedroom is nice and quiet. Pets were quiet and didn't enter the guest room.

They supplied a smartrip metro card, metro maps, bus schedules, neighborhood aquatic center, local gym info, gallery brochures and restaurant menus, city paper and a list of special events for the dates of my stay. They explained how to use the metro card and had a brochure which explained how to load money onto the card and how it's used for both train and bus travel. They also showed me how to use different apps and online features to find out when times for the next train or bus or fastest trip plan to get around town.

I was also able to do a little work from their house. Internet service was fast and I didn't have any connectivity issues. I was able to use their printer. When charging my cell they were happy to let me use their house phone.

The weather was nice during my stay. About a 15 minute walk to metro. Paulette reminded me that if I had time I should visit the National Portrait Gallery which was a few blocks from my meeting for work.

When I arrived back late at night, Larry and Paulette were kind enough to invite me to have wine. Watched a couple movies on their tv.

Paulette had off from work and was able to cook breakfast for me again. Afterwards I was able to go sight-seeing. Larry and Paulette helped me with my itinerary so I could get the most done on my last day. I was able to get around by train and bus easily from their location to the White House, National Mall and Smithsonian Museum.

Neighborhood is nice and quiet. On my day of departure they let me leave my luggage and personal belongings while I went sight-seeing. This way I was able to check out in the evening.

I had a great time and hope to be their guest again. I recommend them highly. Larry and Paulette were both friendly, warm and helpful. I couldn't have asked for better hosts.
