This is a cozy one bedroom on a quiet street. The house has plenty of character, and many of the owners' personal items are around you. However, it was very clean, and it did not feel overly crowded. We found parking on the block as soon as we arrived at about 9:00 on a Friday night. I don't know DC's neighborhoods very well, so not sure how to compare it. But it's a great place to stay to run around the National Mall and hit some museums. And Red Bear Brewery - a couple blocks away - was fun.
