Great weekend at Carl's place. He is an excellent host and immediately felt comfortable staying at his house. The house is in a great location with trendy coffee bars, shops, nightlife, and restaurants to choose from within walking distance. DC's tourist attractions are also within easy reach (I walked everywhere, but some might prefer to rent a bike (also nearby) or Uber. The house itself is very nice and breathes the atmosphere of a seasoned world traveler (which Carl is). Overall a great experience. Thank you Carl.
