I just took my first solo trip to D.C and stayed at the “home sweet city” place and I’m glad I did. I’m always very mindful about my safety and I always make sure to choose a safe neighborhood. The apt is located in a quite safe neighborhood, and it’s close by many stores and a beautiful park. Getting around was not a problem! I didn’t have any issue so I did not have to contact anybody, but I’m sure I’d be helped if I need to. If you’re planing a trip to D.C I’d definitely recommend this place for you to stay. :)
