We rented this place for a two day conference and Congressional visits in DC and it was perfect for our needs. This is someone's home and their stuff is around so its a real Airbnb, not some perfect never-been-lived-in place like some I've stayed in. I thought it had a great location, just far enough away to not break the bank but close enough to easily get to the Capitol (its about a 20 minute walk) and the Metro (10 minute walk). The place was clean, we had plenty of hot water, there was no rotten food in the fridge, its comfortable and there is an awesome Indian restaurant (Indigo) right around the corner - about 1 min. walk. The neighborhood seemed safe although there are homeless people around the corner in tents (if this is offensive or scary to you I would suggest you just not come to DC at all). It was pretty quiet although you will hear the train about a block away but it wasn't loud enough to bother us too much. Also we could hear the next door neighbor a bit but again it wasn't overly annoying. Anyway I would highly recommend staying here to my friends and family.
