Where do I begin? We are still raving over the kind of hospitality we experienced at Susan's home. When we arrived in Washington, Susan
offered to call a "Lyft" to bring us directly to her place. She told us not to
bother to stop for lunch as she would have something for us. We then sat with her talking through a good bit of the afternoon. There was an instant camaraderie which lasted throughout our stay. We found that we had so much in common! We were actually supposed to have stayed in the "Green Retreat" on the ground level, but Susan had a guest there who was leaving the day after we arrived. She offered us a bedroom in her home just for the night. But before we could move downstairs to our original reservation~she showed us a brand new space on the third floor of her Victorian home which she had just renovated. It was filled with light, had a full kitchen, a private ensuite modern bath, a comfortable queen bed, a window seat and lounging area and shelves and shelves of wonderful
books.We decided to cancel our reservation for the "Green Retreat" and stay upstairs, knowing full well we would get plenty of exercise climbing 3 flights of stairs several times each day! We couldn't have been happier!
The very best part of our stay with Susan was.....well.....Susan. We have made a real friend here; someone we know we will see again.(She also has a very beautiful and chatty cat named Frolic who visited us many times. We are both cat lovers, so this was an added plus!) On our final day, Susan once again offered to call a "Lyft" for us which got us quickly to Union Station to catch our bus back to Philadelphia and ultimately home to upstate New York. How can we say thank you for such a memorable experience ?
