Couldn't be any closer to Gallaudet without staying on campus! Neighborhood is definitely in transition but never felt unsafe: just use the same precautions you would in any big city. Street parking is available, but it's only a 15 minute walk to a Metro stop. Lots to do within walking distance: Union Market, H Street corridor, etc. Three different markets within walking distance, too. Small place but smartly designed and comfy: we had two adults and it was fine. And A/C, too: a real blessing in DC in the summer. Kitchen has full size fridge, dishwasher, single burner stovetop, and toaster oven. Would definitely stay here again.
