About the host
Hosted by Lenya GregoryPerkins
I'm a seasoned Washingtonian, wife, and mother. I can't breathe without my family, and friends. I enjoy old romantic movies, music and food. My favorite destination was with my husband to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, we celebrated my birthday and anniversary of 15 years. It is my pleasure to host your family as our guest while you stay in Washington DC and/or the surrounding area. My words of assurance in life; "In all things give thanks unto the Lord, for it is the well of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
Why they chose this property
I was born and raised in Washington, DC. I dreamed of travel, government and history during my childhood playing at the US Capitol and Union Station as a backdrop. This is a quiet community located in a part of Washington DC that's not in the center of the hustle and bustle of Downtown Washington but easy access in minutes.
What makes this property unique
The property is located in the Ft. Lincoln Community Northeast area in Washington DC. The Fort Lincoln area includes a Civil War-era fort constructed in 1861 for the defense of Washington. The fort had a perimeter of 466 yards (426 m), and places for 34 guns, including one 100-pound Parrott rifle. The fort is within the adjacent Fort Lincoln Cemetery, and can be visited. A community of History, Waterfront Port of Towns, Park, recreation and now shopping. Easy access to all major roads and 10 minutes from Downtown DC.
