Gary is warm and welcoming. He is a gracious and generous host. I hadn't thought about parking, but that wasn't a problem because Gary offered his own private spot for the two days for a resonable price. The room was cozy and clean. The house is like a museum, with sculptures, paintings and stained glass windows. The home cooked breakfast is second to none! Soft jazz music serenades you while you enjoy breakfast. I went to DC for an Adrianne Lenker concert at the Lincoln Center, which is only two blocks away. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. Downtown is about an hour walk. Great find!
