About Serge
I work as a liaison on cultural and educational exchange programs. However 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 extensively and speak a few languages.
I want my guests to make the best of their time and I'm very pleased to provide a quiet harbor, or give a good suggestion.
This great city has much to offer the visitor and I'm most happy to make that visit even better.

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 bathroom.
We do highly recommend him

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 to consider while in the area. Highly recommended. Thanks, Serge. Susan and Steve, Rochester, NY

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 a Rent-A-Wreck franchise in Blagden Alley, about 10 yards from Serge's place. Based on Serge's advice we rented a car there at the last minute and the service was excellent. Serge is a gracious host, eager to help and provide suggestions. We're most pleased to recommend his place.

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!

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, the yellow/green line metro stop is only a few blocks away and then it's only 2 stops to U Street or the Mall. Would definitely stay with Serge again.

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 beautiful room)
Location: great to go to the national mall, less than 10 mins by bus which you can get just around the corner from his house. and to 14th, 17th and Dupont circle are walkable.
I definately will stay again, if i have another chance to come.
enjoy your staying.

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.

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.

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 accommodations located near fantastic DC amenities, Serge's home won't disappoint.

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.

Serge is witty, articulate and well-informed on world events.
His innate good taste and international background are evident throughout his New York studio and Washington,DC apartment. Charm and innovation, his signature traits, are reflected in his surroundings.

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.
