Noel's place was perfect for our 4 day stay in the district. She was super helpful and responsive. Her apartment is very cute, and we loved the view from her balcony. The bed is big and very comfortable--great for sharing.

The location was good--the neighborhood felt safe and it was only a 10-15 minute walk from the Rhode Island Metro station, which we rode and then walked to all of the monuments and museums. If you'd rather not walk from the metro station at night, you can take Uber for only about $5, or you can take it all the way downtown for $10-$15.

We recommend ordering take-out from the Chinese place across the street--delicious! Noel has a menu handy in her apartment.
