Meet the Owners
Larry Casazza, MD MPH
For those of you wondering why this pediatrician/global health specialist is involved in the Woodley Park Guest House, the answer is quite straightforward. When he is not on assignment in Africa or Southeast Asia, he’s keenly interested to meet the hundreds of interesting and engaging guests who come to stay at the House. Naturally, these interchanges lead to opportunities to share ideas, compare notes, and in some cases, have resulted in a collaborative effort of some sort.
The impact of malaria on the health of children and pregnant women, especially in Africa, is a frequent theme around the Guest House breakfast table when he is in town. After tuning into these discussions for several years, it is rumored that the rest of the staff can share the same information.
For the time being, Larry is on assignment in Nairobi, Kenya. But he returns to Washington, DC whenever possible – he misses the Guest House atmosphere that much. He also comes home to visit his two grandsons out in Seattle who will be ready to go on safari with him in a few more years.

Early Coffee!
For those who would like an early cup of coffee before breakfast is served, coffee is available starting at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday and 7:30 AM on Saturday, Sunday and holidays. If you need coffee - or a full breakfast - even earlier, the neighborhood offers multiple options. We are conveniently located across the street from one of the nations most ubiquitous coffee purveyors (open at 6:30 AM), and a full breakfast menu is available at several neighborhood restaurants.
Parking
It's often hard to park in a major city, but it's not hard if you are staying with us. Woodley Park Guest House has on site parking for our guests for an additional charge. Please be sure to reserve parking when you are making your reservation!
Free High-Speed Internet Access
It's seems like it's no longer possible to take a vacation or go on a business trip without without a computer. We make it easy
for you to stay in touch. Bring your own computer and connect to the internet through our high-speed network, or use our guest computer. We have both wireless and hard-wired access. Don't travel with an internet cable? Don't worry, we'll lend you one for the duration of your stay.
The Front Porch
Our guests love sitting on our beautiful front porch. Have a snack, a cup of coffee, or glass of wine.
Read the newspaper or a good book. Prepare your conference presentation or chat with the other guests. The front porch is a favorite gathering place for our guests!
Books, Newspapers and Magazines
As you might suspect, a B&B without televisions attracts a lot of readers. In fact, we often find ourselves comparing book lists at breakfast. You can bring your own books or check
out our selection. We particularly like history, biography and great novels. To keep you up to date with world events, we receive the New York Times and the Washington Post daily. And for a great short read on a wide range of topics, check out the magazine collection.

“Thank you, Courtney and staff. This is a great B & B! Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was delicious; the fresh fruit and pastries were highlights. The location is excellent – close to shops, restaurants, the subway and a beautiful park. Everyone is very friendly and made us feel at home. We will definitely recommend Woodley Park Guest House to our friends.”
 Catherine and Robert Campbell - Brisbane, Australia
“This is an amazing place to stay. As a single woman conducting a job search in a new city, it has been an extraordinary place to come back to each day. It is safe, clean, warm and comforting like home. The staff provides many D.C. resources (books, brochures) to facilitate navigating through the city. Every morning there is wonderful coffee and an amazing fruit salad. I feel very fortunate to have found such a place.”
 Amy Lowenthal - Fayetteville, Arkansas
