I live close by and booked this apartment for my parents during a weekend when we had a lot of family in town. They loved staying here! My mom has very high standards for accommodations and she had zero complaints. The space was very clean and comfortable and check-in was easy. My parents felt totally safe in the neighborhood, which is great for those who aren't familiar with DC. And since I live in a nearby neighborhood, I can attest to this area being a hidden gem: some of the best new restaurants in the city and a great Saturday farmers market are within walking distance, it's very quiet and family friendly but still within 15-20 mins of the monuments and downtown, and it's very close to Adams Morgan and Shaw which are two neighborhoods full of great local shops and restaurants as well.
