Alison's place is about 10min drive to monuments a close to travel to H Street. Try Far East Taco and a pizza joint called And Pizza if you visit. Nice neighborhood that's peaceful and quiet. Her spot was worth its value and you'll enjoy your stay whether to relax or come be a tourist. The building is quiet especially the neighbors you don't know they are home. I definitely recommend this as a great place to live like you're from DC and forget you're visiting.
