The neighborhood is very loudy, late in the night. This is very disturbing even if Donna tries to solve the problem. Some people look at me very strangely. As a white person, I do not felt very confortable. However, you are near the city center and Lyft ride are not very costly. For the price, I guess that it worth it but I won't stay here during a next stay in DC.
Maybe with time the neighborhood will be more friendly.
Even if I didn't see Donna, check in and check out were very easy.
