Great place in an awesome up-and-coming (meaning gentrifying) location with plenty of cool bars and restaurants within walking distance. I particularly liked El Techo across the street. It's within a 30-40 minute walk from the National Mall or 15 minutes by scooter/bike. Public transportation's an option but didn't try it. The place is perfect for a single person or couple who appreciate culture and a neighborhood that's still a little rough around the edges (but safe). Don't be surprised if you hear bass pumping out of a car late into Saturday night as it's on a main drag. All-in-all I'd stay there again as it's how to experience the real DC, not just a tourist bubble.
