Christine is a great host. Her property is cozy and comfortable and quiet at night. She provided us with lots of snacks and bottled drinks.Her location is ideal. The mall is a short walk away (30 minutes to the Washington Memorial,10 minutes to the Capitol). Whole Foods is 5 minutes away. The 8th Street restaurants are about 15 minutes walking time. The neighborhood is safe for walking both early mornings and evenings. We drove so Christine obtained a visitor parking permit for us which was just perfect for leaving the car and walking everywhere. We truly enjoyed our stay.
