I stayed at Rae's home while attending a meeting at the Washington Convention Center. The walk was about 30 min, and I felt comfortable walking alone at night as well as during the day. Rae's home is beautiful and quiet. The room and bed are very comfortable. I was able to make breakfast each morning, after shopping at the nearby store. I stopped at one of the restaurants on the walk back home.

I especially enjoyed talking with Rae. She is a kind and thoughtful person. It was sometimes hard for me to tear myself away from conversations to go to the meeting. Rae was also able to give me suggestions about places to eat and museums to visit. If I were to stay in Washington DC again, I would definitely want to stay with Rae.

My stay far exceeded any expectations I had.
