If you get the chance to stay here, do it. Marilyn's home is in an incredible location, right near the train and Library of Congress, and her neighborhood is bright, safe, and full of things to do. I was here to do research at the LoC and really appreciated the short walking distance. Marilyn is as nice, personable, and helpful as anyone you'll meet, and she was exceptionally accommodating. I look forward to my next trip to DC, and I'll definitely be staying here if I can!
