We arrived at our condo in Falls Church,VA today. This is the 3rd time we have have used Vacation Rental by Owner. We've been pretty pleased with the results. We're paying $100 a night, plus a cleaning fee, and have all the amenities, including a washer and dryer in our unit. We can catch a bus to the metro just around the corner, or drive to the metro station within 5 minutes - we are very close to DC. I'm looking forward to getting into the city tomorrow and viewing the monuments. This will be even more fun since I just finished "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown, and will hopefully be able to separate fact from fiction! I am not a huge Dan Brown fan, but really liked this book. His theology leaves a little to be desired, but I cannot write anymore without spoiling your reading pleasure!
