The room is exactly as advertised. TThe area is nice and there is a good restaurant at the corner. The subway is nearby and it is really close to the Capitol and all of that. Now for the host, Ms. Vita Jean. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. This is a wonderful place to stay. The spirit within the home is one of peace and relaxation. he house is located next to a wide open field and the backyard is extremely wooded something relatively rare for DC. The bed is twin size and I am not a small woman but it was extremely comfortable and could be shared by a couple. There is a branch of the Smithsonian "....around the corner and up the hill..." and trust me it is up the hill. The bus and subway services are nearby. Uber knows the location so there is no problem getting them. If you really want an authentic DC stay with a person who knows the city, Vita Jean's is the place.
