Our host sent us an amazing Welcome e-mail with great information, so when we got there we knew exactly what to expect as well as where to go for dinner. She made us feel at home, but also gave us our privacy. There were many Washington D.C. books out for us too. The neighborhood was very nice and felt safe. You could walk to the grocery store, restaurants and the bus stop easily. On Sunday, there was a Farmer's Market very close b, which was a fun place to eat breakfast. It was also fun to walk down to the Fletcher Boat House, where you can rent boats and bikes or just enjoy the river and canal. This was a great location. You only needed to take one bus to get to the National Mall or many other locations. After long days walking, it was a great place to return to and rest.
