Why stay in an overcrowded hotel when you can rent a beautiful 5 bedroom home with hotel like amenities! I'm not only offering housing; I'm offering an EXPERIENCE. This is a once in a lifetime event that has shown the courage of a nation and depths that we have as a country make real change.
The inauguration of the first African American president is not just an special occasion for African Americans, but an historic event for all Americans.
