A a former newspaper;magazine reporter who has covered Asia and the Middle East, I began developing rental and condo buildings 15 years ago, turning a love of travel into a passion for hosting travelers. I spend my idle hours in front of books and movie screens, looking for ideas to enhance my properties. My wife and c-host Rebekah enjoy introducing visitors to them and the nation's capital. Our family lives above the AIRBNB and available at all times to enhance your comfort and help you navigate DC sights and pleasures.

The Cathedral Charmer is a calm getaway from the hustle-bustle of official Washington. You're more likely to run into dog walkers and baby carriages than a U.S. Senator. The National Cathedral and its lovely gardens are two blocks away. So are the trails of Glover Archibold Park frequented by hikers and joggers. But two blocks in the other direction is Wisconsin Av., one of Washington's storied thoroughfares that is lined with great eateries--Tex-Mex, French, Indian, Chinese, Uighur, Spanish Tapas, Vietnamese, Italian, Japanese and American--hot watering holes, Giant Foods, yoga studios. gyms, liquor stores, boutiques and pharmacies. The AIRBNB is less than two blocks from a major bus hub with tentacles throughout DC and a mile from the Metro subway. Either form of trans;portation gets you to the National Mall in 20 minutes.
