This place is enormous! It is really very comportable, as it has everything you might need, from wi-fi to a big kitchen. There is not much going on in the neighbourhood, so if you want to be able to step out for a nice breakfast or whatever, this isn't the place to book. It is however very good to relax and wind down (which was just what we needed after 2 weeks of travelling!).

The neighbourhood is residential and very quiet, with the nearest metro stop a 25 minute walk away. The bus (a stop just around the corner) takes you to the Smithsonian in about 20 mins. The taxi from Union Station to the house cost us $18,50.

The laundry room (which we did not use) is shared with the upstairs occupants, so we had 3 different people coming down in one day to take laundry in and out, put it in the dryer, etc. I think that might be something to take into consideration when you are a very private person.

Finally - Teresa and Reid were very friendly and communication with them was very easy.
