Beautiful space in a great neighborhood. My daughter and I stayed here for a week while we were in town touring colleges. Gary is a fantastic host, and his apartment is clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It was a lovely, homey place to come back to after long days of touring. The kitchen is compact and functional--don't plan on complicated cooking, but we had no problem making some simple meals, saving on restaurant costs! Gary provides some breakfast items, and there is a Safeway an easy ten-minute walk away, so dining was a breeze.
Of course, the neighborhood is also full of great restaurants within easy walking distance, so you could eat every meal out, if you wanted to. The apartment is quiet, on a tree-lined street, with easy access to the Metro trains and buses, and Rock Creek Park is close by for walking or running. We didn't bother with a car, opting for the Metro for getting around everywhere, and we had no trouble at all.
We will definitely stay here again when we are back in DC.
