I stayed at Heather's home in DC for 3 days. Although I didn't meet her personally, she did everything to make me feel at home. If I had questions, she answered them by e-mail almost immediately. Her instructions to get to (and into) her house were perfect I arrived on foot with no problems. And, when I was almost stuck in DC for an extra day due to the "blizzard" in NY, she was very accommodating and her friend Sam, who was in charge during her absence, even said I could stay on the couch if Heather had booked all the rooms. Her house is beautiful with sun streaming into the living room in the morning. My elegant bathroom was like a small palace museum with green marble, a jacuzzi , walk in shower with a green marble seat built in. All was super clean. The distance to the metro is minimal so it was easy for me to get around without a car. I definitely will return when I need to go to DC again and am eager to actually meet Heather!
