Need a room/bed/couch in DC for the Inauguration.

[Dangerously Amused]

Need a place to stay for one or two people on the nights of Sunday, Jan 18 thru Thu, Jan 22.

The reason it is for one or two people is because I planned the trip for just myself a long time ago, but now my best friend (of 30+ years) is able to join me. We would like to stay together, obviously, but the place where I am staying does not have room for any more people. So if we can find a place to stay together we'll take that, but if all we can find is room for one, my friend will take that and we'll spend our nights apart and then meet up during the day.

My friend and I just need a safe place to sleep, clean up and keep our bags: We are non-smokers and don't plan to party much; we are more interested in seeing the sights during the days, so we will be in at a (relatively) early hour at night and be out the door first thing in the morning and gone all day. We are both responsible professionals and will make it our business to be respectful of everyone's schedules and personal affects. We are willing and able to provide personal and professional references upon request. Kids and pets are not a problem, we love them!

We would prefer a place as close to the heart of DC as possible as we hope to use walking as our primary mode of transportation.

Tremendous thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer!


:hi:


PS - Mods, I posted this in the DC forum as well, but "know" a lot more people here in the Lounge so I posted it here, too. Hope that's cool with you.

1. I have a cousin in DC...

I'll let her know you're looking for a place and see if she comes up with anything :)

[Dangerously Amused]

3. Aw, thank you.

:loveya:

It would be cooler if you could be there, too. :bounce:

6. You're welcome!

We may go down, dunno yet... I'd like to, but I'm not sure I'm willing to deal with the insanity! :crazy:

2. You can stay at my place. But it's in Austin, so it's a long commute.

[Dangerously Amused]

4. But I can just borrow your private jet and fly in, right?

:hi:

5. I can give a character reference...

;)


She can help move furniture and is now adept at car repairs. :)

7. Also,

...she is ruthless at board games, kind of a klutz and a major league goofball.

Hmmm...


:dilemma:

8. ~~ UPDATE ~~ THANKS EVERYBODY!

We found a great apartment (fireplace, large screen tv, etc.) , less than a mile from the Capitol, :wow: that we are renting for a SONG! :bounce:

We can hardly believe our good fortune! :woohoo:


Thanks for your help, hope to see you there! :7 :hi:

9. I've got to know what song.

"We found a great apartment (fireplace, large screen tv, etc.) ,

that we are renting for a SONG! :bounce: "

That must be one powerful song.

I'm guessing Minnie the Moocher.

12. My dear Dangerously Amused!

How wonderful that you've found a place!

I'm going as well...

Perhaps we'll encounter each other!

The folks I'm staying with are DU'ers too, and I think we're going to LynneSin's meetup that Monday night...

We shall see!

:fistbump:

[Dangerously Amused]

Ha ha.

Thanks Peg!
