My experience with Joe and the condo was outstanding. I did not meet him in person but he was very congenial via both text and telephone. The location was easy to find, as described and an easy drive to the National mall and other places of interest. Parking is securely off the street, right outside the bedroom window. The condo was immaculate, smelled great, is airy and roomy and had all the amenities one could want (and more). Area seems active during the day yet peaceful and quiet through the night.

The neighborhood is urban as noted. I traveled north after dark in search of food and found the closest convenience stores had cashiers behind bullet proof glass and shady types hanging out curbside. Saw two arrests in progress at the supermarket – so I'd say just watch your six if you're wandering around at night – at least until gentrification is complete ;)

I would highly recommend staying at Joe's and would definitely stay there again. It was way more than I expected from an Airbnb... but it made me feel giddy with decadence – and that's a good thing.
