Dan and his partner were gracious hosts and provided a comfortable and clean room in their charming Columbia Heights row house. It was an ideal location for us, within easy walking distance of a number of fine restaurants and interesting shops and about two miles from the National Mall and the heart of the city. Elderly and disabled folks should know that there are a number steps to climb to the house, and another flight of steps up to the guest room. Parking is on the street, and while it isn't hard to find a spot during the day or early evening, it becomes more difficult after 9 or 10 p.m., as we found out once when we returned late from an out-of-town trip and drove for several minutes looking for an empty spot. We'll happily return again if they'll have us!
