Gary's place was just the best! So clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It is in the city, on a fairly busy street, but there was no problem at all with city noise, due to the layout and the way the unit is situated -- and we are from a very quiet L.A. suburb, so that was originally a concern. The location feels very safe, and the Metro (Red Line) is just an easy walk away. There is a CVS, a small upscale grocery store, and numerous excellent restaurants between the unit and the Metro stop -- Bistro Bites (crepes!!) and Open City were particularly good for breakfast, and we loved the District Kitchen, ate there twice for dinner. There are many, many more restaurants we would have liked to try, and we didn't even get over to the Adams Morgan area, in the opposite direction, where they have so many more excellent choices. The unit's proximity to the Red Line Metro and the even-closer bus stops made it quick to get around the city for sightseeing, but Gary's place was lovely to "come home to" at the end of the day. Gary was unobtrusive but very responsive to our needs and ready with suggestions upon request. The cleanliness, the warm, arty decor, the TWO comfortable bedrooms, and the location made this the perfect place for daughter and I to stay during our week long sightseeing vacation. I'd go back in a heartbeat -- oh that autumn color!
