Great local restaurants walking distance from the house. Subway train an easy walk away. Great for seeing all the tourist destinations around the Capitol. Young hipster type neighborhood in a gay/lesbian friendly area. We traveled with 3 kids and saw almost no kids around. You'll run into homeless outside your front door or walking around but its the city. We arrived at mid-night on a Saturday to loud blasting club music and struggled to park. Owners kind enough to call the next day to help us out. Night life is happening and loud here so bring a sound machine or use the ones they have there. We had no trouble sleeping when using them. Definitely not the city suburb culture we typically live around but fun to escape the norm and experience something different. Would recommend if you're traveling to see the DC sites.
