Reed's place was PERFECTLY located for my husband and myself: in a nice neighborhood with easy walking distance to the Takoma Park metro and to some delightful restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and the suite very quiet -- we slept well during our four night's stay. And there was plenty of coffee available to make for our morning wakeup. Reed is a welcoming host, and we enjoyed our conversation with her: if you want guidance on D.C. museums, Reed's the one to go to. One caveat: access across the lawn and especially down the steep steps into the basement would be a challenge to someone with mobility issues.
