My friend and I, a fellow college student, stayed with Marina's welcoming family for three weeks as we started our internships in DC. Their home was in a great location, and we were easily able to enjoy the charming neighborhood shops and restaurants as well have access to the monuments and museums. Plus a convenient walk to work!
Marina, her husband, and her son were super nice but gave us space and were there when we needed them. They have an eclectic home and live in a family neighborhood. Their home is a great spot if you like an easy-going atmosphere and are interested in getting out and about in DC. Plus, we were so grateful they let us book three weeks - great hosts!
