The place was great, in a mostly Jamaican/WestIndies neighborhood with places to eat and a Walgreens really close by. It also had a metro just 3-4 min walking, this metro did NOT run on weekends and that was a down because we had to travel in bus everywhere. The family was not home for the weekend but their apartment was pretty and clean. Karen was quick to respond to any questions I had over my stay. They have a beautiful cat named JJ and that really made my stay feel like I was at home.
