My stay in Faya’s home in Georgetown, regrettably short, exemplified the best aspects of traveling widely and residing locally.
Charming indeed, the suite is elegantly appointed with tasteful furnishings and objects of art, offering a broad library of fiction, art and scholarly works. I could have happily stayed longer. The accommodation is at once relaxing, engaging and inspiring while still feeling homey.
And comfortable - Faya made me feel immediately at home, offering recommendations on dining, interesting walks, and neighborhood (and house) history. Insights into the museums of the city. Providing a cutting board and bread knife just when needed. Making me feel welcome as a guest in her home. I especially enjoyed and appreciated our conversations on diverse subjects - warm, charming, articulate and engaging. Get her started on art...
All this while surrounded by some of the most outstanding highlights of Georgetown. Within a block of Wisconsin Ave, up the hill to Tudor House, Dumbarton Oaks and Dumbarton Oaks Park , down the hill to M Street and Georgetown Waterfront Park, and a short walk to Dupont Circle and the West End. Hard to imagine better.
