Staying with Marilyn was absolutely wonderful. Excellent communication beforehand, and she was attentive and caring, without being intrusive. She is very interesting to chat with and full of good tips and suggestions about the area. The house is small, the room is tiny, and you have to climb some steep and narrow stairs to get to it, but I just considered that part of the charm of staying in a historical building. The location is also fantastic, walking distance to union station, but in a relatively quiet neighborhood. I can sincerely recommend staying with Marilyn, and would certainly do so again next time I visit D.C.
