Scott's place exceeded our expectations and made our first trip to D.C a very memorable one. We had a really nice room with a private bathroom and a patio exactly as shown in the pictures. I did not meet him but he made us feel at home and let us use his kitchen also. Both I and my wife loved his collection of books. From the downtown, we usually got off the cab at the Capitol visitor center/Supreme Court and then walked our way back to the house. The neighborhood, Capitol Hill, is amazing with terrific safety; they even have their own Capitol Hill Police. The Capitol building is a short walk from this place and there are at least two convenience/grocery stories with few minutes walk. If I visit D.C in the future, I would love to stay at Scott's place again, and possibly meet him too!
