Staying with Vita was really great. I stayed so long, I felt like being part of the family when I left. Vita is an amazing chef and I had several opportunities to try her creations. It was hard to believe that vegan food can be so delicious.
Although many people raised an eyebrow when I told them I was staying in Anacostia, I never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. The only downside is that there is no big supermarket in Anacostia but one can do shopping on the way back from downtown.
All in all, a very pleasant experience.
