Henrike, Derrik and of course Eleanor are very nice hosts who made us directly feel welcome. We had pleasend chats, enjoyed the places in DC which were recommented by our hosts and good handmade cockies which were part of the "welcome package". The basement appartment is very nice, clear and well equipped with everything you need to make yourself a home. Coffee, tea, a fridge, a huge TV, a micorwave and W-Lan as well as Netflix Access for guests, definitely much more than I expected. The apartment is a perfect place to discover Washington by bike, by foot or with the public traffic system. For sure a place I would recommend to my best friend.
