My husband and I were visiting our college daughter doing a DC internship staying a few blocks away. I love this neighborhood. While it is city life, it feels safe. You may encounter a few homeless people, but they seem harmless and lots of people and police around. This place is an amazing value. It's small, but good for 2-3 people. It's very clean, big bathroom, perfect little spot. Great communication and I loved the coffee pods, creamer, and beers. :)
