My wife and I stayed here for a week with our two small children (an infant and a toddler) and had a great time! The location is incredibly convienent. A metro stop, the convention center, Chinatown, groceries, restaurants, and lots more are very close by. We met several of the neighbors, and they were very friendly and welcoming. The space was perfect for our family and gave us some room to spread out.

If you are worried about the neighborhood, I can assure you that it is just fine. On our first night in town we had dinner at a cafe about a block away, and it was filled with young professionals and foreign diplomats. It was quiet all night, even with the windows open, so whatever noise issue used to exist here has been taken care of. There is a large housing project across the street, which I know would concern some people, but it was really not an issue for us.

This place was great for us and our kids, and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Next time I might try to get the first-floor apartment if it's available, though, since the stairs are tought to navigate with a double stroller.
