Full disclosure: I'm Rachid's next-door neighbor, and thanks to a new addition to our family, we had a full house and I had my parents stay in his guest room. They had a wonderful stay, and found Rachid to be a gracious and helpful host. This is a great location in DC: a quiet street, but it's <15-min walk to the red, yellow, or green line, and you can walk to the Mall in a half hour, plus access to all the restaurants of Shaw and Bloomingdale. Recommended!
