I work as a liaison on cultural and educational exchange programs, but my real, creative work is as a filmmaker.
I'm interested in media and the visual arts, in design and architecture, in history and in social justice.
I've traveled quite a bit and speak a few languages - lived abroad for several years. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world.
I'd like my guests to make the best of their time here and I'm very pleased to provide a quiet harbor, or make helpful suggestions.
This great city has a lot to offer and I'm most happy if I can make your visit even better.
谢谢热情的Serge,不厌其烦地回答我许多琐碎的问题,你的睿智博学为我们的华盛顿之旅增添了许多乐趣。房子干净整洁宽敞,位置特别好,离地铁站步行只需3分钟,离chinatown步行5分钟,家旁边1分钟的超市虽然不是中国超市,也卖很多中国食品。第一天安顿好之后出门闲逛,一不留神就到了白宫^_^此后几天的行程我们都靠"11路"解决了。下次来希望还能订上这里。
February 2012I was in DC for a professional meeting some 5 blocks south of Serge's apartment. FYI, the conference was charging $275 per night for a room. I was able to walk to and fro safely rather late at night, and had no trouble finding nourishment nearby based on Serge's recommendations. The apartment itself is spotless, the bed is comfortable, and the arrangements w/Serge to arrive and depart were quick and painless. I only wish I could have stayed a little longer.
It was really nice place to stay. Even though there was a little communication problems between us, everything was much more than fine at the end. Although I could not meet him in person but he was always kind and his place was awesome!
Great location for visiting downtown Washington, close enough to walk to the trolley and metro stops and far enough away to find numerous dining choices. Serge unfortunately was away, but his instructions where clear and it was easy finding and getting settled in. Large quiet room with a great comfortable bed, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks Serge, Jim & Dianne
Nothing could have been better! Great location, clean accommodations, light breakfast included, restaurants and laundromat close to the location...with all this said we had an absolute wonderful time. Serge really knows what he's doing and it's a great find if you are looking for something affordable AND great! We hope to visit again and would love to stay here in the future.
This place simply made my stay. First of all it was a pleasure for my eyes. You WANT to go around barefoot on the spotless, warm wooden floor and carpet; you DESIRE to read lying on the immaculate sofa, looking at the natural light coming from the ceiling. OH YEAH! Everything is exactly as pictured and explained and if ANY help is needed, Serge is present and warm, even if miles away as in my case. Considering his home, I thought he would have been one of this person I immediately link... More »
Serge's place is exactly what is depicted in the pictures - chic, clean and spacious. Serge has made my first Airbnb stay very comfortable, and although my husband and I did not get a chance to meet him, Serge was very helpful and timely in replying our queries via emails. The location of his place is perfect - with the main sights and sounds a short walk away.
I stayed at Serge's apartment with a friend of mine for a mini-weekend in DC. Serge was out of town, but he provided us with all the information we needed to make the stay perfect. The apartment is beautiful, clean and has the perfect location to explore the city. We truly recommend it!
Nice spacious bedroom and clean bathroom. The apartment is comfortable and light and is situated in a quite neighborhood. Serge is a very kind and generous host. We had a very pleasant stay.
Serge is great and the room is very clean and quiet. Great place if you are working at the convention center
Serge was great, and so was his place. First a bit about our host: Serge is a super cool guy, artistic, and actually a pleasure to interact with. He has an interesting life, is articulate, and very polite. His place is super cool too: modern, sophisticated, comfortable, and very clean. We enjoyed our stay with Serge very much, and would certainly come back and do it again.
All the reports that I received from Paul, the person I had stay with Serge were positive. He and I spoke after the stay and he seems like a stand-up guy that takes pride in his home.
My stay in Serge's home was very very comfortable. The location is perfect, the room (home) is very accurately depicted in the pictures and talk about CLEAN! Also, Serge perfectly lays out the "hows" for your stay. My directions for check in could not have been clearer and easier to follow. Once inside everything is very nicely explained should you have any questions. Add to this the availability of Serge at all times. He is very communicative and upon emailing or calling him he was...

Hello, We stayed with Serge 25th-28th October 2011. I had spoken to him on the phone; however we never met him as he was away on assignment. He had very precisely left everything that one would or could ever possibly need to explore the city. We were out all day and to come back to Serge's home was like a home away from home. I really can't say or praise him enough as his hospitality is "5 Star".. The home is just as the photos show, there's Coffee, Milk, Juice and Toast awaiting you.. Oh... More »
Our stay at Serge's apartment in Washington was very good and enjoyable. Serge was a very personable and pleasant host and we enjoyed his company. He provided us with a front door key to come and go as we pleased. The en suite accommodation we received was very clean and comfortable, and the use of his kitchen and dining area was very adequate for the breakfasts and sandwiches which we prepared. We are happy to recommend him and the accommodation he provided. His apartment is within... More »
Serge was a great host, very considerate and helpful with planning our trip. He was hospitable and nice to talk to but gave us plenty of space as well. We would recommend him as a host to anyone!
Serge is the perfect host. Very welcoming, a great conversationalist, but at the same time, non-obtrusive. His house is just five minutes walk from the Metro. The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom was immaculately clean and spacious with a large window overlooking the backyard. We had a great time and heartily recommend Serge's hospitality for any travellers visiting Washington DC.
We had a wonderful experience at Serge's beautiful flat in Washington. The neighbourhood is very pleasant.It is very close to the main attractions in the capital city.The flat itself is so cosy,well equipped and nicely furnished that we enjoyed very much staying there. Our bedroom was king size,regal and comfortable.The private bathroom was equally nice and comfortable. Serge is an extraordinary person in many ways: a very interesting man, a wonderful host always attentive to his guests... More »
We had a wonderful time! Serge is so pleasant, I enjoyed our conversations immensely! The accomodations were clean and roomy, in easy access to everything. Exactly what we needed. We highly recommend staying here! Thank you Serge, it was an honor meeting you! Patty and Barry
Serge made my 1st experience with Airbnb a delight. He was very easy to work with and even accommodated my schedule of late departure with grace. The place was a nice oasis from the humid weather as he had ac and fans running. This made a good nights sleep quite simple. He is very personable and we had a pleasant conversation right at the start. I personally enjoyed that it was walking distance to some good restaurants and bars on 14th. The visitor information and maps left on the table were... More »
Serge was a good host and tthe accommodation was clean and handy to the city. We very much enjoyed our stay in Washiington which was enhanced by staying at Serge's place. Dennis & Heather, Sydney Australia
My friend Maureen and I shared the bedroom and it worked out great. One of us slept on the bed, and the other on the Aerobed that Serge provided. Both were comfortable with clean linens and pillows provided. The bedroom is spacious and well decorated. We were able to watch cable TV, listen to our iPod using Serge's speaker, and use AC when it was humid. The bathroom is cute and has a nice tiled shower. Toiletries like soap and shampoo were provided as well as a hairdryer. Serge provided... More »
Serge's apartment is a great place from which to explore central Washington, There is a circulator bus just round the corner on 9th street that gets you to the mall for $1 which we used many times, The bedroom is large, the bed is comfortable..Despite Serge not being there, he provided everything we needed. Thanks
The room + bathroom offered by Serge is a very nice place to stay and one feels "at home" very soon. Also, Serge is a great host who has experience with hosting guests so that we already had all information before we actually needed them. We definitely recommend staying here!
Serge was a friendly, helpful host, who answered all our questions about Washington but also left us to our own devices - a perfect balance. The accommodation was as descirbed on Airbnb, - clean, comfortable and location excellent. Many thanks for helping to make our week in Washington a wonderful one!
Serge is great. He was only there the last night of our stay, but it felt like he was there the entire time. After providing us with a list of local activities/places about a week beforehand, he checked in to make sure all was going well. Positives: * Serge and his hospitality * Really close to the metro - 3 blocks/5 minutes * Near grocery stores, restaurants and bars * The house is great - organized for airbnb travelers. Instructions everywhere in the house, anything you need... More »
Serge's home is wonderful, well located and fully equipped. Even though I didn't meet Serge, he let us feel comfortable in his house.
Serge was especially great about setting up clear communications and detailed instructions that made everything go smoothly. The apt is well-equipped and comfortable and very convenient to the convention center.
My husband and I stayed in Serge's apt for 5 full days. He was away on business and took care of some minor problems for us as not having internet and tv not working. I loved the apt., every picture posted is exactly how the place is ( only pix not posted is the stairway going up to the living area.) He had the fridge stocked well with breakfast items for us, milk , cereal, bread, juice, jam, butter. The location can't be beat.. a couple of blocks to restaurants and Jerry Chan's chinese... More »
It was our first experience with AirBNB and we loved it!
Bravissimo!
This was our first Airbnb experience and our first time in DC. We had a great time. Besides me, I had my two sons, ages 13 & 14. Serge was very helpful and available by phone when he wasn't at the house. I was disappointed that the oven/stove top didn't work, but it worked out okay because we were so exhausted when we got home each evening, I didn't really feel like cooking. And by microwaving dinner, I had less dishes to do. I will definitely try Airbnb again and I hope to get back to... More »
We had a wonderful stay at Serge's home. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet with him as he was traveling on business however, his home was wonderful and he was an excellent host. The apartment is incredibly well located, ony 3 blocks from the metro station and we found it a perfect starting point for all our visits in D.C. We even caught a soccer game at RFK stadium which was easy to get to on the metro. We walked to Whole Foods and picked up groceries and ate at some wonderful... More »
Our 7 night stay was our first experience of using airbnb and proved a very positive one. The location giving easy access to downtown DC was a major plus and the accomodation was comfortable and had all the facilities that were advertised. Our host was as urbane and cultivated as you would expect from a man about the Metro capital and gave useful practical advice on things such as overnight parking and local amenities. Nick & Anne Blenkinsop. Scotland, U.K.
Good location and charming host - he helped us with good informations do-see in town. Very nice - we definetly would stay again and we strongly recommend it.
This apartment was ideal for a visit to D.C. We attended an event at the Convention Center two blocks away. The location was perfect. We never saw Serge, who was travelling, but he kept in contact and was available should the need arise. It didn't. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We changed our own sheets and towels. There was adequate food and toiletries. The only shortcoming was the absence of air conditioning, a problem as the city became quite warm. Serge said he's... More »
Enjoyed the BnB very much. I would definitely recommend and will definitely stay whenever I am in DC again. Was able to choose between walking to the Mall Museums (in 15 mins) or take the Metro 2 blocks away. Very handy location to good eateries on P and 14th (only 4 blocks away). Huge bedroom at back of the apartment overlooking (by one floor) a large communal style quiet courtyard. Bed was super comfortable and bathroom was ultra clean. Serg's collection of books and movies (along one... More »
The apartment is centrally located in a beautifull neighborhood. Serge is a great host, always kind and willing to help guests. I reccomend this place !
We stayed four days in the quiet, bright and sunny ensuite bedroom in Serge's beautiful apartment in an interesting neighbourhood. Serge was the perfect host leaving us to our own devices, but there any time we needed him. All that was required for an ample and nutritious breakfast was provided. It was a short walk to the metro and buses, and to neighbourhood restaurants recommended by Serge. If we were lucky enough to return to Washington, we'd certainly be in touch with airbnb and Serge... More »
My wife and I had a wonderful stay in DC at Serge's apartment. It is exactly as described and pictured. We did not meet Serge as he was out of town during our stay, but his prompt and detailed Emails made our check in and stay easy. The bedroom is large and bright with a private bath. There is a brilliant skylight over the dining table for you when you eat your provided breakfast. We always felt safe in this neighborhood. We used the Metro ( about 3 blocks) and the red buss (even... More »
SerSerge was out of town so we didn't get to meet him but that did not detract from our visit to Washington DC. His place is just like the photos and the bedroom is very large which is a bonus if you have some luggage. Breakfast was continental with juice, bagels, grain bread etc so ample for us. We found the location excellent with the subway a block or so away, but the red Circulator Bus which takes you down to National Mall which is the main strip with all the museums and monuments, is... More »
Serge is an extraordinary person, extremely nice and cares a lot about guests. The clean spacious room with private bath, the generous breakfast and the location of the room made my stay as if at five star hotel. Many thanks Serge.
What a beautiful apartment - clean, bright, spacious bedroom and ensuite bath. Perfect. We were in a lovely area of Washington, about a half hour walk from the Mall. Serge was away during our visit, but we had no problems because the instructions left were very clear. Connie and Ken
Although my friend and I did not meet Serge in person, his DC accommodations were very comfortable and conveniently located to all the places we needed and wanted to go. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this clean and reasonably priced place. Merci Serge!
We didn't get to meet Serge because he was out of town during our stay. However, his place was beautiful and he was more than helpful in planning our trip details, etc. I would highly recommend staying at this spot!
Serge's place is inviting, clean and very aesthetically pleasing - lovely. (Truly looks just like the photos.) My daughter and I stayed for 4 nights. Serge was overseas, so we did not have the pleasure of meeting him, but everything was provided for and household information/directions/helpful hints/etc. were clearly spelled out. Prior to our arrival, Serge's email correspondences concerning planning and any questions were always prompt, friendly and charming. I am quite fussy/finicky and... More »
Serge was a wonderful host, extremely helpful with directions and printed lists of what to see in the neighborhood, and provided an aesthetically dynamic apartment with lots of natural light, and wonderful books of art, architecture, and travel. The room is spacious, bright, very quiet, and clean. The neighborhood is central to walking anywhere in the city. Highly recommended... Thank you Serge!
Wonderful host, very helpful, clean and convenient place to stay..will definitely stay again
Great place, great host. Very artistic design of the unit, and, yes, lots of books! The bed is really comfortable. The location is very nice with about 20-30 min walk to Capitol area, and is close to the metro which is about 7min walk if public transport is preferred. Bicycle renting is also available nearby, which is a great way to travel in DC. Thank you Serge!
The room was spacious and clean. The private bath was new and well-maintained. Serge was the best. He made a special trip to the market to buy lactose-free milk and allowed access to his kitchen, which is equipped with a microwave oven and toaster. I do not recall whether there are electric burners but definitely there is no oven. I enjoyed chatting with Serge so much over breakfast on my first morning in his home that I was quite late for my conference. Serge is a wonderful host, unobtrusive... More »
My wife and I had a very nice stay at Serge's. The apartment is a few blocks from the Metro station. It is in a gentrifying area with new galleries and coffee shops. The apartment is light, clean and the bedroom has many interesting books to flip through. Serge is a very busy man who has many stories to tell from his international travel.
Serge gave us a very warm welcome in a lovely and quiet place, close to washington city center and attractive neighborhoods. Serge also guided us very well for our arrival and during our stay which has been most helpful! We highly recommend travellers willing to spend a couple of days in a nice, quiet, clean and easy-to-access place in Washington to contact Serge!
Serge is a wonderful host, who manages to be simultaneously engaging and discreet. He has created a spotless downtown haven filled to the brim with warmth, books, and art (seriously, to wake up and find yourself staring at a Kertész ... what a treat!). After a day filled with meetings and museums, it was a joy to return to the comfort of his home for a cup of tea, a good book, and a great chat. I heartily recommend this property to anyone seeking a true urban retreat.
I had an incredibly smooth stay at Serge's, from start to finish: he was available to answer questions and even sent shuttle recommendations from the airport; I had no problems finding or getting into the place despite his absence; he checked in by email after my arrival; the place itself was even better than the pictures, with a remarkably comfy bed for airbnb (and I've had a lot of stays by now), excellent central heating and air, good cable and tv, incredibly large space for DC, and great... More »
First off - hands down most comfortable bed I have ever slept in besides my own! Gracious host, beautiful room and location was just right for walking to all the musuems and sights. Will stay again when in DC.
Serge was a great host and the place was as nice as the photos make it out to be. He was a great help when I had to find a clothing store to pick up some extra undershirts (packed a little too quickly). Looking forward to staying here again next time I'm in DC.
Our stay at Serge's place was very last minute. However Serge was very responsive to our email to check his availability. Serge was very helpful & thorough with the directions & instructions for our stay. He has a beautiful place. The bedroom is huge, perfect for the luggage we had accumulated over the time we were travelling. The bed is very comfortable. The location is perfect, we walked our way around DC in 2 days. We would have loved to stay longer, unfortunately the room was booked... More »
Serge's place was quiet and super comfortable. All the modern, and very organized, amenities are there. the room was huge. I was also able to walk to Dupont, U St. And the Mall! Don't miss out on this immaculate home.
We were guests of Serge for 7 nights. The accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable, light and bright. Serge was very friendly and most helpful in getting us settled in and orientated. We were able to get to The Mall easily on either the 52 or 54 bus from 14th street, a few blocks away, so did not need to walk too far or use the Metro (which is also conveniently close-by, but slightly more expensive). We had everything we needed and had a most enjoyable stay. We would stay here... More »
Our experience at Serge's place was fantastic. It was exactly what we were looking for, a do-it-yourself style vacation. Being close to the Metro, even walking distance to downtown made it really convenient to stop back and take a rest or a shower if we felt like it. Serge gave very clear instructions and was very kind, he wasn't there at all during our stay but made sure we had everything we needed. It all went very smoothly and we had no complaints at all. mike and sabrina
We stayed 3 nights at Serge´s flat and it was a real nice experience. Beautiful apartment. Very clean. Spacious and very illuminated room. Serge was very discrete but all the time available for any needs. The location is in a very quiet and peaceful area. We definitively recommend this place. Thanks Serge.
This Is the first time I use AirBnB and I am very impressed by it! This is simply because I had a great time at Serge's place. He is a great guy, extraordinarily kind and friendly. The place is very clean, and the area is very safe and convienient. I'd highly recommend this place to my close friends and family.
A very nice, clean, modern, well-appointed place in a quiet neighborhood 15 minutes from Metro Center on foot. Highly recommended. Serge is a very courteous and considerate host. I'll return there if the opportunity arises.
Great spacious room with private bathroom. Clean and quiet. Nice host. Breakfast included! Lots of nice restaurants within 5-10 minute walk. Would stay here again.
Really nice stay, Serge is a friendly and knowledgeable host and provided lots of useful local info including some excellent travel options which saved us 200$ !! Check out (website hidden) if you are travelling in the NY/DC area. His house is very clean, lots of natural light and breakfast is available. Locationwise it's just a 10 min walk to town or a few minutes to the metro and within easy reach of a good supermarket (Whole Foods on P Street)and some good bars and... More »
Nice guy, clean and cosy room, felt very comfy. This house is situated very central, only a short walk to all important sightseeing places, restaurants, shops, metro station.. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Serge's place. Best deal you can get for your money.
Our stay went just as hoped: the room and bed were comfortable, the neighborhood and metro were safe and convenient and Serge was a gracious host - kind and helpful when you needed it, quiet or gone when you didnt. It was our first airbnb experience, and we'll definitely do it again - such a refreshing change from sterile, cookie cutter hotels!
I had a wonderful time in DC. Serge's place is just as he states...clean, conveniently located and in a safe friendly area. As a host it does not get better than Serge. He readily answers all calls and e-mails and is very knowledgeable about DC and surrounding area. Yes, I would definately reccommend staying at Serge's place when in town, I would stay there again.
Our stay at Serge's place was great. He has a very nice appartement and it's not far from all the monuments, the white house, etc. and in his vicinity there are great restaurants and bars.
Thank you for 3 wonderful days / nights in washington dc. . Unfortunately we didn’t met Serge during our visit, but we will catch this up next time! The whole procedure (get contact, information, ...) was very stressless, Serge gave us good instructions via telephone (and good recommendations for dinner too). The apartment was very clean, the refigerator was in best conditions, the bathroom was clean ..., in total: excellent! The location of the apartment is very close to downtown (or it is... More »
We had a great stay, Serge was not there, but he gave us excellant instructions on getting in the apartment and what areas we could walk to for food. It was so nice to stay in a neighborhood not surrounded by other hotels, and tourist restaurants. It is very close to a Metro stop but you can also walk to some sites as well. We enjoyed feeling like we had a "home" to go back to at night, not just another hotel room. Serge had breakfast food available, and we were also able to use the... More »
I came to DC to carry out a series of interviews as part of a research project on global health and stayed at Serge's place for 8 days. It was my first experience with Air Bnb and it was just brilliant. Serge offered great advice on restaurants, etc. He arraged for me to get the key as he was not around when I came. Actually, he was there only one evening as he was then working out of town on a project. The place is very central. Dupont circle and 14th street with its restaurants, whole food,... More »
What a delightful place to stay! Serge's home is comfortable and very attractively decorated. It is convenient to the Metro, to a very good sandwich shop and to a grocery store. We enjoyed meeting Serge and were made to feel quite welcome. We will recommend these accomodations to our friends.
Serge's apartment is beautiful, well lit, spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with a wide variety of choice for breakfast. Serge is a wonderful person and an excellent host. The location of the apartment is great & is walking distance to the centre of Washington DC. Thankyou Serge, staying at your apartment & meeting you was certainly one of the high points of our trip. Merci beaucoup.
We had a great experience at Serge's place. Great location within a couple of blocks from the convention centre and very walkable to other attractions in DC. Room was very comfortable and we felt right at home.
Serge was very helpful in providing suggestions for restaurants that were close enough to walk to and unique to DC. We enjoyed our time at Serge's place.
Serge's place is great and the room is comfortable, beautifully decorated, neat and spacious. If you love to walk (as we do) it has a perfect location to all the museums, monuments, parks, restaurants, etc. and the neighbourhood is peaceful and safe; if you don't, there's a metro stop very close. You can also have a very good and healthy breakfast every morning. Serge is a wonderful host and a very nice person to meet; he's very responsive, thoughtful and helpful, he sent us a list of...

Serge was a wonderful host and a wonderful place. Nothing else to say! The location was really perfect (about 20min walking from the Mall), with a pleasant neighbourhood. It was close from supermarket, logan circle, dupont circle, ... The room was very clean, as the rest of the appartement. Breakfast was delicious and very healthy. Serge is extremely helpful and did his best to make our stay amazing (and did well, in fact). The queen size bed was comfortable, just as the private... More »
We very much enjoyed our stay at Serge's super stylish home. The bedroom is big and excellently furnished and the kitchen is light and airy stocked with a great range of breakfast foods. Although we didn't see much of Serge he was helpful with our queries and interesting company on those occasions we did get to chat. The location is safe and peaceful, not far from the main happenings of DC. We would definitely return! Sally and Lesley
Felicito a Serge por su buena organización, predisposición y gusto por la estética de su departamento. Lamentablemente no pudimos conocernos porque se encontraba de viaje, pero nos encantó el departamento. muy bien ubicado, cerca de todo y se le suma una buena variedad de alimentos para el desayuno.
Serge's home is comfortable, tidy and the guest room spacious -- a haven after a long day of tourism! It is in a safe, multicultural neighborhood, well located for our purposes, being a short walk, bus or metro ride to all the places we wanted to see while in Washington. We were looking forward to meeting Serge, but unfortunately, he was out of town during our stay. Most of our contacts were via e-mail. He answered our queries quickly and gave us very good information on cultural activities... More »
Our stay at Serge's place was everything we hoped for. The space is terrific. Even though the temp was in the high 90s on several days, the air conditioning kept the interior cool and comfortable. An aerobed was available for my daughter. There was milk, juice, coffee, tea and cereal for great morning breakfasts. The apartment is also wonderfully located: we were able to walk to a different restaurant every night - to U Street, China Town, and K Street. BTW, if you need a rental car, there's... More »
We had a great time in Washington with a perfect stay at Serge's house. The large room with bathroom and toilet is comfortable and clean and the neighbourhood is very quiet. The location is not far from the city center. Serge had some interesting suggestions for our visit as well! We enjoyed it very much, thanks again Serge! Dennis & Wendy from Holland
Serge was a great host and the room had everything we needed. An aerobed was available for my 9-year-old son and the kitchen was stocked for breakfast. Serge was very responsive to emails and even helped us out over the phone when he was out of town and we accidentally got locked out of our room. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is little eating or sightseeing activities in the immediate neighborhood. But there is a lot available once you walk about 5-10 block. Plus,...

Serge's house is in a great location for visiting Washington, meaning we were able to walk from the house to all the sights of the city. The room was clean, comfortable and a really good size. Although we didn't meet Serge as he was out of town with work, he sent us a long list of recommended places to eat, which we really enjoyed, and Serge had everything well organised so that everything went totally smoothly with our vist. We would definitely recommend staying with Serge.
first, I am not a native english speaker and came to DC for my work in Smithsonian. and this is the first visiting to DC which means absolutely stranger here. all the contacts I have made before I visited was great. he replied me in a short time and the answers were perfect. About the house, from the union station 6$ taxi, 9th and N st. then easy to find. when I got there, it was friday night and noisy, a bit worried but this place is so quiet and pleasant. (simply, it is white based a... More »
Great place, as I said in my earlier review
Beyond our expectations, we loved it. Everything was in order, food, breakfast selection, accommodations, we couldn't be happier and if we ever get to return to DC we will stay with Serge again.
We enjoyed our stay at Serge's apartment very much. The room is spacious, light and lovely, and everything in the home is very tasteful. Serge himself was a pleasure to meet and interesting to talk to, but also gave us just the right amount of privacy. The apartment (particularly the bathroom) has some small issues that are the sort one expects in older buildings with character, but they might annoy less adventurous folks.
Serge is wonderful !!! The room is Clean, Comfortable & Spacious. The house is only 2 blocks from the subway. Short walk to nightlife. Worth the money ! We hope one day to return. Thanks for everything Serge !!!!
Serge is a wonderful host and offers wonderful accommodations. We would highly recommend the truly great hospitality that Serge offers. We hope to return!! Thank you!
Serge's appartment was clean and pleasant. Serge was not there during our stay but easily reachable by phone or by mail. Ps A l'attention des francophones, Serge parle très bien le français.
L'appartement de Serge était parfait, exactement comme sur les photos. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez lui. Nous n'avons pas rencontré Serge, mais il était toujours joignable par mail et nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir un appel de sa part pour savoir si tout se passait bien. Si nous retournons un jour à Washington, nous savons déjà qui contacter Merci Serge !!
I never got to meet Serge in person (he was out of town) but he was a delight to talk to by phone and email. He's extremely considerate and thoughtful and that is reflected in his lovely apt. I was very comfortable with his apt and the room. It's a nice size, quiet, dark for sleeping but large windows that view a courtyard and trees and ivy. Thank you Serge!
I stayed at Serge's apartment which has bright living and spacious bed room. Room was comfortable and clean. His apartment is very good location near the subway. I couldn't see him during my stay because he was out, but he helped my stay by phone. I highly recommend his room.
Je suis ravie de mon séjour chez Serge. La maison est bien située et très agréable, avec vue sur le jardin. Serge est très accueillant, à la fois disponible et discret. Il est aussi passionnant et érudit, parlant plusieurs langues. Tout cela m'a permis de passer un excellent séjour à Washington, et de découvrir la richesse de cette ville.
a wonderful one bedroom apartment. full of light a great view of the open back yard. SERGE is splendid. he went the extra mile to make sure all was just like HOME. really felt like family. will tell all that this is the place to be. very safe very comfortable. and always in a place to be at. thank you all for your help.
The room is exactly as pictured. The host knows DC well and is willing to interact to whatever degree you desire. This location was perfect for me, only blocks to the convention center and an easy cab ride to Capitol Hill. I was comfortable, impressed with the apartment and enjoyed being a "guest" in Serge's home.
Serge opened his cozy Logan Circle home to my fiance and me for three nights. He accommodated our late arrival for the first night of our stay and was very easy to contact by phone and by e-mail prior to and during our stay. A gracious and interesting host, whose quiet, sunny home is conveniently located just two blocks from the Mount Vernon metro stop, Serge provides a perfect haven for travelers on a mission for leisure or work. If you're looking for a great person to talk to and... More »
I had an excellent stay with Serge. His place is an easy walk to the metro as well as Chinatown and plenty of restaurants and entertainment. The apartment is designed beautifully and the room is perfectly suited for a guest. But the company is best of all. Highly recommended.
The apartment was charming, clean, convenient, comfortable and as shown in the photo. Serge was charming, courteous, compassionate, communicative, generous, knowledgable and most attentive to detail. He maintained contact with us via email and telephone during every step of our transaction from booking to key transfer. It was a pleasure dealing with him. We hope that some time in the future we can, again, stay in his lovely apartment, and in fact, hope to maintain contact with him.
Despues de 16 dias en diciembre de estancia en el estudio de Serge en Nueva York, decir que el es una magnifica persona y el estudio esta muy bien comunicado, en un buen barrio muy tranquilo,cerca de Central park. Si volvemos a Nueva York repetimos seguro.
It was a real pleasure to share quality time around a drink with Serge. Real calm and pleasant man. I'm sure we will meet somewhere in the world again !

Serge is smart and funny, sophisticated yet down to earth, his NY studio is clean and cozy, close to great restaurants, transportation and walkable to Central Park.
