We loved the neighborhood. In the mornings we took a short walk over to a local diner named Slim's that's very popular in the area. We had a rental car which I would recommend since Petworth is about 25-30 mins from main monuments. There is, however, a downtown area close by with plenty museums and even a china town area. The sights are beautiful in the area and the space is exactly as pictured. Very clean and good for 2-3 people.
