The neighbourhood is not safe. We were warned by two sets of Metro transit cops not to walk to the unit from Anacostia station at night. The first cop said to never walk home from there. I felt very uncomfortable walking to the Station during the mornings although some locals did nod to me nicely. With booking ten different places for our holiday, I missed the note that the gated parking was available "with advance notice" so it was not available when we arrived after a very long and rough drive from Fla. Our host seemed quite ticked with us; they even asked if we wanted to find somewhere else to stay--what fun that would have been! The whole thing was uncomfortable as a consequence.
