Lucy's place is the perfect spot to escape-- whether relaxing or getting some work done. Check-in was efficient and thorough and once I mentioned that I preferred privacy, she checked in on my stay via text only a few times. The perfect host! Free parking is a HUGE perk. As a music teacher, I took full advantage of the beautiful and nicely tuned piano to prepare lessons for students. Sometimes I walked into town (restaurants within 1 mile either way you go on MacArthur) and sometimes I used Uber. There is noise from the upper levels of the house and some mildly audible air traffic from National but I was aware of this (thanks to another review) and didn't find it bothersome. There's a lovely view of the river from her outside patio (bring bug spray if it's summer! DC is notorious for mosquitoes in the summer night heat). All in all-- I hope to return for grown-up "summer camp" next year.
