The location of Gary's place was incredible. My sibling and I were in town for a show at Black Cat, which was only a few minute walk away. It's also within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and bars. Or you could easily get a bus to decrease walking. If anyone is plant-based like I am, I found there were quite a few places around that had pretty good options, even for a strictly vegan diet. It was also not too far away from the National Mall and museums. We were able to pack a lot of sightseeing in to the few days that we were in DC. The room itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Check In was easy. It sits on a street right outside the busy nightlife area, so there was a little noise, but it wasn't too bad in my opinion. It was a decent trade off for a great location. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
