I came here on a business trip that my wife and older son joined on later. It worked out great for us.
This is an old historical row house that was at some time, totally renovated. We like the rustic-urban exposed brick, the iron rails, modern kitchen, and nicely remodeled baths. It's quite beautiful inside.
We did walk to some good restaurants down the street a couple of times. The pizza place was especially good. Other favorites we had that's in the general area are DC Smokehouse (great Southern BBQ), and Florida Avenue Grill (great Soul Food: smothered pork chops, collards, grits, even scrapple... ).
For getting around, we did not rent a car and relied heavily on Uber and Lyft. We seemed to always be within 2-3 minutes of a driver. I'm glad we did because it seemed that parking around downtown destinations would have been difficult.
Neighborhood: This area has many historical row houses that are renovated like this one, and some that aren't. It's also close to a really neat historical school. We found the neighborhood to be diverse and all the people we ran into to be quite friendly and had no problems. Since this is urban DC, you should use common sense, and at the same time, enjoy the community and southern hospitality.
Given the prices of Hotels in DC (400+) and even other Airbnb's I also felt that this stay was a really good value for the quality of accommodations.
For people traveling on business, couples, or families with an older kiddo like we had, I would highly recommend staying here.
