We were made to feel very welcome by our lovely hosts. Michelle and Elmar are very obliging and friendly and provided us with lots of information about the area to enable us to make the most of our short stay. We really appreciated being given a lift on our first day, and again on our last day to the bus stop. Such a gesture of kindness which made a big difference. We were made to feel we were visiting family - taken into the living room and offered refreshments on our arrival. Our bedroom was very comfortable and cool (it was 100 degrees outside!) and all facilities were available for our use. Beautiful house with lots of character. The location is good, near transport - buses and metro. All in all, a lovely experience on our first visit to Washington. We hope to return one day - there is so much to see - and we would certainly want to stay with Michelle and Elmar again. Thank you for your kind hospitality. Rosemary & Graham
