Great place to say for first timers on a budget. Had a car so we mostly drove or ubered to the main city. Came to visit friends last minute & this was a great deal compared to the $100+/night that was only available. Area (Eastern DC) may seem iffy but there was no issue at all with neighborhood. Right next to the police station, very quiet, felt safe returning very late at night as well. Parking wasn’t an issue really, just park on the side of the street. Appreciated how there was a mini fridge with water! That was nice after a 7-8 hour car ride.
