The neighborhood might look a little rough, but we had no problems or concerns. The home was very clean and just as the pictures show. We had 5 people and 3 dogs and there was plenty of room for everybody. The yard is somewhat fenced in so if you have dogs, they can’t run loose, but you can walk them in the backyard, which is mostly private. It’s close to all the sights in DC. We had a great time and we’d definitely stay here again.
