Literally 5 minute walk from Nationals Park. 10 minute walk to the green line which takes you to the National Mall. Amazing proximity. We flew into DCA and didn't have to rent a car or Uber. The place was across the street from section 8 looking housing, but the neighborhood is pretty clean. Maybe not the safest place to hang around outside at night, but honestly I wouldn't be concerned even if I lived here permanently. The room looked exactly like the pictures, though it did have a mild mold/musty smell. Didn't bother me, but my wife has a sensitive nose. Not sure if the owner lives here. Other rooms in the house also on Airbnb so other guests using your bathroom. I guess the owner can't be responsible for the cleanliness of other guests, but the bathroom didn't look like it is cleaned regularly. All in all, great value for what you're getting and I would definitely stay here again.
