Vita is a wonderful host and her home is beautiful. The room I stayed in was perfect for my 2 1/2 months in DC. It was only about a 10-15 minute walk to the metro station. The best route to take to the metro is to go down Maple View Place, make a left at MLK, turn right on Chicago, then left on Shannon and it will drop you off right at the station. Vita is also an amazing vegan chef, and would kindly offer whatever she was making. Her daughters were also incredibly nice and are responsible for a lot of the beautiful artwork lining the walls of their home. Overall I had a great experience and would come back if I found myself in DC again.
