Stayed here for a couple of months during the summer of 2022. Gary is a thoughtful and caring host that has a beautiful home that he is gracious to share with guests and as such I would recommend his home to anyone staying in DC for a long period of time.
A couple of notes for prospective travelers:
The apartment is approximately 20 minutes from NoMa metro. It’s not too bad of a walk. If you’re a tourists only here for a weekend - the most efficient way to/from places would likely involve an Uber or Lyft. For commuters, the 20 minute walk is kind of nice.
The parking spot is in the back and is not particularly easy to get in and out of. I had an SUV but was able to get in and out but only very slowly; a large pickup would likely not fit.
The apartment is close to a number of great amenities including bodegas, great restaurants, a Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, cafes, etc.
The apartment is right on the edge of what I would consider the safer part of the H-Street Neighborhood. The closer to H-Street and Union station, the safer the neighborhood seems to get. As one goes east and North the Trinidad neighborhood seems to get more sketchy. I felt comfortable as a male in my mid-20s, even at night, but a younger female might feel differently.
Gary was a fantastic host and would expect him to work through any and all issues that your experience in your stay promptly, efficiently and fairly.
