Eric's place is beautiful and >100 years old, in a neighborhood of similar homes. There was plenty of hot water, filtered water in the fridge, coffee/decaf, and a comfortable bed in our own private suite. We never met Eric during our 3-night stay, but did see his housemate a few times. Eric was responsive to emails and had a welcome packet and map in the room, with suggestions of where to go for food, transportation, etc. It was a nice, safe neighborhood. We walked from Union Station, and to various sites near the Capitol as well as to restaurants. We had great weather in October and politicians had left town.
