My main concern with staying anywhere in DC is the safety of the neighborhood, and I'm happy to report we had absolutely no safety concerns whatsoever. We parked both on the street and in the provided parking spot behind the building with zero issues, and walked around the neighborhood and did not have any problems. The location is great (15-20 minutes from DCA), with a short Uber to the National Mall area. We did not use the Metro, as the closest station is about a 15 minute walk, but that would also be a very viable option. The space itself was perfect for our needs; the kitchen was well equipped and although we didn't need it all, plenty of sleeping options. It is a second floor space, so if you have issues with stairs it may be an issue, but was not for us. Overall, we felt safe, had good parking, provided everything we needed for a extended weekend stay and had great access to DCA, the DC tourist areas and the highways we required to get to other areas outside the metro, all at a very reasonable cost.
