Dear Ethel, thank you for the pleasant stay in DC! I had a great time! Ethel was a very responsible host who always responded timely to my messages before arrival and who was always happy to help during my stay. The room was very nice and comfortable and I had the upstairs bathroom almost to myself. The subway is easy to reach (5 min walk) and it is therefore easy to get to the city center. Unfortunately, it takes quite a bit to get to Dulles Airport but otherwise the location was fine, and the area is safe and quiet. However, you'd want to go somewhere else to go out at night but since I was there mainly for business, this was fine. I would always be happy to stay again.
