This was our first visit to DC and we are so glad we stayed at Ellen's place. The apartment was very clean, stocked with all kinds of goodies, and very comfortable! Ellen was very kind in helping us navigate the city and recommended great restaurants on her guidebook. When we came home soaked by the rain she even let us use her washer/dryer. Will definitely stay again when I am in town for a conference and have already suggested this spot to friends.
