Mary was a wonderful host and greeted us with a warm welcome. The home is older with a lovely cozy feeling. She took extra time to show us around the neighborhood which was great for first time DC visitors. The location is great and surrounded by so many wonderful restaurants. Our main goal was to visit the Smithsonian museums and we took the streetcar/train/metro - Mary's home was a central location to travel to all the museums and other attractions near the capitol.
