Barbara was nothing short of an amazing host, personable and caring, she would answer without delay and always offer additional help. Her house is nicely decorated, the rooms are so too, sheets are new, towels dry well, plenty of pillows! The water preasure in the bathroom is amazing, the silence in the house is enjoyable and the smell of coffee in the morning is inviting. The neighborhood is extremely friendly, neighbors talk to each other all the time on the streets and are polite to visitors like me, parking is a blessing in the area since you can park on the street right in front of the house... It doesn't get any better than that in DC, anyone who's been there on biz will appreciate the perk of easy and free parking! I read negative comments below and I have to say that they are definitely not accurate, they even sound somewhat ill-intentioned to me since Barbara and her husband are really nice hosts and if you are respectful of their house they treat you as an old time friend, never watching over your shoulders. I highly recommend this place, there are plenty of guides and brochures for tourists and history of Anacostia town posted on the wall, really interesting to read. Thumbs up, great place for your next visit to DC, business or leisure.
