Patricia and Cherisse were great hostesses. Both are talented artists and meeting people into the arts was great. Cherisse is a great cook, and she went out of her way to help me and make me feel at home. Actually, I felt so at home that being away on business became much more enjoyable. There is a laundromat just downstairs and less than half a block away that was clean and fast. The cats were very quiet and chill, so anyone who likes cats should enjoy spending time with them. They don't wake you up of the night or make any noise (I can't remember hearing a meow) but they are happy to get attention, too. I would say the cats are perfectly behaved! The room was comfortable and calming, and the neighborhood was very safe with foot traffic, so even at night I felt okay walking alone to the metro. I slept well and was able to work a full schedule, but it would have been a great place to stay at if I were on vacation, too, because it's very comfortable. I hope to stay here again!
