My husband and I spent a week at Gary's charming Airbnb. As many others have said, Gary is a gracious & helpful host - available, but not intrusive. The neighborhood was great & felt safe even at night. The only thing you should know if you don't have a car is that it's rather difficult to get groceries. Safeway is about 5 blocks away, but hard to carry anything heavy. That is in no way a negative reflection on Gary or his apartment, but helpful to know. Gary went out & got us bottled water & could not have been more helpful. Would love to stay here again if we're in the area. The price is very reasonable, particularly compared to DC hotels. We found it easy to get around using Metro train, buses, & Uber. I highly recommend Gary's Airbnb!
