Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Clinton's place. The basement apartment is beautifully decorated, wonderfully air-conditioned, and has THE best shower ever. The bed was comfortable and, according to my teenagers, the hide-a-bed was as comfortable as I remembered my Grandma's hide-a-bed was. Fine for young backs, but not for old ones! It was so reasonably priced and located in a very convenient area.
The neighborhood is SO close to free public transportation. A very short walk takes you to H street where you can ride a free trolley to Union Station. Then, the Circulator (which was running free during our visit) picks you up in front of Union Station to take you to the National Mall to see all of the museums and monuments.
However, the neighborhood doesn't feel entirely safe, which is why we appreciated the security system. Walking down H street, we ran into several people who were on drugs and mumbling around. One man pretended to try to hit my husband as he passed. There was a broken liquor bottle on the sidewalk one block down from the house, and one evening as we were walking back, we saw a car with the back window bashed out. It appears that the owners in the area are fixing up their homes and trying to bring some life and light to the neighborhood, so there are some beautiful homes. The neighbors right around Clinton's place were very friendly and kind and we enjoyed our conversations with them. Still, our Uber driver told us that the neighborhood was very scary and was violent just a few years ago. I believe it. I mention this so that people are totally aware, however, if my family was visiting the Washington, DC area again, I wouldn't hesitate to book Clinton's place.
