I would absolutely recommend Lora's place to anyone wanting to stay in a safe area of DC and wanting to feel like they were experiencing true city living. The house is within walking distance to the Capitol and National Mall area (20 minutes?), as well as a weekend market, restaurants, and grocery stores. We alos used Uber from this location multiple times with no problems. While the house is modest, it is quite servicable and clean. The host went well out of her way to help us with flexible check in and check out times, as well as assisting us with getting an overnight mail delivery. She was quickly available for any questions or concerns. I would stay here again if I were in the area. Very enjoyable stay!
