I'm a Hong Kong native who has lived in Washington for 22 years. My wife is originally from Philadelphia but has lived in Washington for the past 12 years. We moved to Washington's Takoma neighborhood from downtown W, DC 2 years ago and enjoy sharing our new home and encouraging guests to explore both *known* and *hidden* Washington gems.

We like all types of travel from camping (love KOA) to b&b's to 5-star hotels. We used Airbnb for our recent trip to Hong Kong and were very happy with our rental on Lantau Island.

Some of our favorite locations are Yosemite, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Joshua Tree, Arizona side of the Grand Canyon, New Orleans, Austin and Big Bend Texas, Pennsylvania Dutch Country and New Hope PA, NYC, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Boracay Island Philippines, Bali, London, Rottenburg and Cologne, Tuscany, Rome and Capri.

Places on our soon-to-travel-to list are Turkey, Greece, Czech Republic, Austria, Venice, Italy's Adriatic coast, Portugal and South of France.

We look forward to hosting guests from around the world. We'll do our very best to make you feel welcomed and comfortable.

Larry and Paulette were amazing hosts. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home thanks to Paulette. She was an engaging and caring host, and I highly recommend staying with them when visiting DC.

Staying with Larry and Paulette was the best decision I made for my trip to DC. They were so helpful and accommodating. Transportation was very easy to get downtown. Paulette went out of her way to make sure I had an amazing time in DC. I had really early mornings and late nights. They were always around with a warm, friendly smile. I was able to experience more of the city while staying with them. Paulette also showed me around on my last day and took me out to a great dinner. I felt like I... More »

I arrived from New Zealand at 10.00pm and was created by Paulette on my arrival who was inviting and pleasant. Paulette showed me all I needed to know to get settled in comfortably then allowed me to go about my way to settle for the night. Paulette and Larry's place is clean and comfortable and I loved my room, it was clean, airy with a lovely fan and the bed was so comfortable, It was a new bed and the mattress was lovely to lie on. I slept like a baby every night. I had my own bathroom... More »

We stayed here Feb 2012 and it was great! The hospitality was amazing. Paulette was like our personal assistant - even though we really did not expect it. She provided metrocards, maps, bus schedules, directions above and beyond what we asked. We could walk to the bus stop which went to the metro, or walk further/drive to the metro (a few min drive away). We also went for runs in the nearby park (walking distance). Prior to the trip, we were asked if we had and dietary restrictions for... More »

They were very flexible with my check-in/out times. I checked in the morning around 10 am and they had breakfast (pancakes, bacon, fresh fruit, juice) and coffee for me upon my arrival. The bedroom is nice and quiet. Pets were quiet and didn't enter the guest room. They supplied a smartrip metro card, metro maps, bus schedules, neighborhood aquatic center, local gym info, gallery brochures and restaurant menus, city paper and a list of special events for the dates of my stay. They... More »

Paulette was unbelievable nice. She cooked, offered wine and was a great resource during my trip. A lot of attention to detail. I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The place is comfortable, conveniently located and clean. A+!!!

Forget other hosts that claim to be 'superhosts' or Airbnb, Larry and Paulette really are the real thing. The quality of care and attention to detail started a long time before we arrived in Washington. They contacted us before our arrival to see what we would like to eat for breakfast and if we had any special dietary requirements. The room is super cosy and comfortable with great linens and nice towels to use. There is ample hanging space and the wifi connection is brilliant. Breakfast... More »

Paulette and Larry were great hosts. Snacks at the end of the day with wine and conversation and breakfst in the morning. One morning she had left us a note that she had went out to catch a bus to buy fresh bagels. Helpful with transportation tips and a starting metro card to use to get on the bus and directions for topping it up. Very comfortable bed the best I had slept in on our 2 week trip. Larry helped my husband get his computer to connect with their internet access. A very comfortable... More »

Paulette & Larry were delightful hosts. Paulette was like a big sister, attentive and always making sure that our stay was as pleasant as she could make it. Their hospitality was really something and we felt immediately ralaxed in sharing their home which was tastefully decorated and comfortable. Paulette was extremely helpful with all the logistics of visiting D.C. and we shared many enjoyable conversations with them both.

Paulette was a very interesting guest, she knows more about Philadelphia than any other guest I ever had. I learned a lot about hosting from her as she is a "Super Host" in DC. We had long conversations about our mutual experiences and I enjoyed hosting her in my Philly home. I would gladly host her again. You can expect a very livable guests with lots of experience as a host, as a guest you can expect a very dedicated and accomodating host that provides you not only with a room but with... More »

I stay with Larry And Paulette All the time. She is like a sister to me, her brother is my best friend of 25 years The place is very clean and nicely decorated. They always help me with any questions about the area and give great recommendations. Its located in a very nice safe part of the city with free street parking. If I was going to pay to stay in DC it would be here.
