Laura is a fantastic host! It was my second time in D.C. but my first time staying at her place. At first I wasn't sure what to expect because her house is close to so many other houses, but once I stepped inside it was clean and spacious!
Laura provided a lot of amenities in the room too, including toiletries, towels, an iron, and hangers. She also has a wonderful guidebook that provides a lot of great places to check out and resources on transportation and emergency care.
The house is in Anacostia Park, which is about 15-20 minutes from downtown D.C. (with traffic factored in). It was easy to get to where I needed to be from her location.
Laura is also super easy to contact should you need to get a hold of her! I felt really welcomed and will definitely come back.
