The place was very clean and in a pretty good location (a five minute walk to the free DC streetcar that takes you right to downtown). I saw some other folks saying that the place isn't in the best area, and while the neighborhood isn't exactly SoHo, anyone saying they felt unsafe is just paranoid or has never been to the city before. Uber back at night instead of walking, just like you would anywhere else in DC. Gary is a tremendous host with a great room. If I go back I will definitely consider Gary's place again.
