Ethel's place was very cozy. I stayed for 5 nights, to do research and attend a festival in DC. I landed a in DC a bit early, and Ethel was kind enough to let me drop off my suitcase a bit early. I mostly took Lyft shares to the National Mall, and it was relatively inexpensive $4-6/each way. I was gone from morning to night each day, and slept well in the bedroom. Ethel was kind and thoughtful, and even allowed me to a load of laundry since I'd been traveling for a couple of weeks. I enjoyed my visit to DC and am grateful for Ethel's hospitality.
