Stephen and his wife have a wonderful place. My husband and I were so glad to have an actual house to come home to every night rather than a tiny hotel room. The kitchen had food in it already, so we were able to wait until the next day to do our grocery shopping. The air conditioning worked well. The furnishings were nice. Having a computer with internet access was also wonderful so that we could research any places before visiting. We ended up being able to park right on the street out front once we got a (free) permit from the police dept. Stephen was super helpful whenever we had any questions, but the best and most helpful things he offered were rides into downtown in the mornings. The parking near the main sightseeing spots is horrendous, but he was wonderful about taking us to whatever spot we planned to start our day at. Then we just took a cab or the metro/bus system back in the afternoon. We really enjoyed our stay. We know we could have never found a better spot for accommodations, location, and hosts. We would definitely like to stay here again if life brings us back to D.C.
