Michelle & Elmar are fantastic, welcoming hosts! I would suggest staying here for conferences at the Walter E Washington Convention Center; easy walk (10 min or less) to the center; 2-3 blocks from a metro stop. Michelle & Elmar are very welcoming; I really enjoyed conversations with them each night and they offered so many amenities, kindly sharing breakfast, and tea in the morning and apples at night. Their two cats are very sweet & shy. And their long-term renter Amanda was very helpful and I met with her for check-in.
Their home was very cozy; they have a hot-pot for making tea. The bedroom was comfortable with a closet and hangers for clothes and the bed was very comfortable with a warm duvet. The bathroom on the 2nd floor is shared, but very easy to coordinate Michelle, Elmar & Amanda.
