The location is superb. It only takes a few minutes to walk from Heather's place to the main street. And from main street, you can see Capitol Hill. Isn't that great? We booked the tour to the Library of Congress and we just walked there. It is also easy to take the Metro or bus. There are several routes of Circulator buses. Last year it charges $1 per ride. This year it is free. You can really take a good bus tour to go around DC just by taking the Circulator. Heather provided very detailed information for visiting DC. We spent a week in DC and we just planned our trip based on Heather's tips. Don't bother to search any more tourists interests. Heather has provided more than enough. There is a Trader Joe's near the Metro station, also an organic place call "Oh, Yes!" (if you are a fan for organic foods). You can easily do your grocery shopping on your way back. Heather's place is nice, clean and quiet. That is a big house and there might be other guests. However, you do not need to worry at all. We just feel like we are the only people staying there. Maybe you will bump into Heather once in a while. You will totally enjoy a relax and spacious place. Also, if you have any question, Heather is very responsive. My husband and I really enjoyed talking to Heather. You will be surprised how much Heather can tell you!! We highly recommend it.
