Gary was an excellent host and provided us with breakfast essentials and clear instructions on how to get in. The location is wonderful and the apartment was very clean, the beds comfortable (ironed sheets!). We usually stay in Old Town, but ventured to a new neighborhood and thoroughly enjoyed Adams Morgan. The apartment is a basement apartment with its own entrance and you can hear people walking around above, but there is light and the noise was not intolerable. Our stay was very comfortable, but I would not describe the apartment as "elegant" but rather, "comfortable and eclectic." It would appear that there has been some water issues as there was some rot in the bathroom. Some updates, such as touch up paint and replacing the blinds (the blinds were in a bit of disrepair) would move this place up on my list of nice places to stay.
