My wife and I were fortunate enough to stay here for six weeks as a transition from an overseas assignment to our new -- and former -- home in Washington. First, the hosts and the people who manage this listing for them are fabulous. They are accommodating in every way possible and super-responsive to questions and concerns. The unit is well-appointed with a properly equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed and good Wifi. It's very secure and super easy to get in and out of. It's also very accessible to bus lines and a streetcar (though, warning, that streetcar does not have a dedicated lane and it comes only every 10 minutes, so if you need to be in a place in a hurry you might want to consider the bus.) The neighborhood is nearing the (positive) end of a transition period to being one of DC's most interesting and vibrant, with new apartments still being built and others taking in new residents. It has several restaurants/bars, a great Whole Foods and even a farmer's market all within an easy walk. It is urban, so if you are expecting a very suburban experience you will not get that. What you will get is a sense of DC outside the monuments and Mall, as a real city. And my wife and I never felt unsafe, either walking solo or together. As far as the unit itself, I would not recommend having more than three adults here for anything longer than a weekend. The space will just get too small for that. Also, it is part of a duplex and you will hear people walking, etc above you. I must add that the owners have had a bit of a challenge with the renters upstairs not respecting quiet hours on the weekend. But they were super-responsive to our issues with this (only a couple of times during our six weeks there) and I got the sense in the last couple of weeks that the renters realized they had to behave a little more respectfully. Overall, I think it's worthy of a top rating, with the minor caveats I've outlined.
