I've been to Charlie twice now, and though he's a bit of a drive for me, he's worth every mile on the congested outer loop.
Sweet, caring, and intuitive, he gives the best massage I've had in the DC area since moving here. His deep tissue is *intense*, but BOY does it feel so good. He adjusts pressure accordingly, and is very good about checking in, especially after he's worked out a knot.
The massage space in his tastefully appointed home is cozy (and filled with books!), and he uses a terrific massage lotion that doesn't have a scent and leaves the skin feeling luxurious.
Charlie is by far my favorite masseur in the area. Highly, highly, highly recommended. Do yourself a solid and indulge in the 90 minute - it's competitively priced and very, very relaxing.
Thanks, Charlie!! Can't wait to see you for a third visit!
It was a pleasure seeing you again! I'm glad that you got what you were looking for, I think the second massage is always better than the first because we have gotten to know each other's likes and dislikes a little better. Thank you for the kind words and I look forward to seeing you again! - Charlie
