Marina and her family were incredibly warm, welcoming, engaging and helpful in every way. They have a great dog and two birds, so as an animal lover I was happy to have them there. The room was perfect and the location is incredible. Its only a 20 minute walk from the Capitol Building, and has several parks, restaurants, convenience stores etc. around the area. I could not have asked for a more perfect stay, so I strongly recommend anybody wishing to visit D.C. to consider staying at Marina's!
