I was visting DC for the first time and was on a budget. Mary made me feel quiet comfortable in her place. She was careful in understanding my needs. The room was clean and well aerated. There are no pets. It is a little far from the Union station and you will probably need a taxi (7-10 USD one way) or you can take a bus. Mary was kind enough to drop me to the Union station, I highly appreciated her spontaneous help. Breakfast was fresh bagels with marmalade and coffee. I would recommend it. Thanks Mary.
