John's place is awesome, and he undersells the neighborhood on his listing. The apartment is near some low-income housing but very safe and friendly and pretty. We were here for a longterm stay because we were moving to DC from out of the country, and I walked our dog everywhere in the area without feeling uncomfortable within 5 blocks in any direction. All the household amenities are first class and John and Am are terrific hosts -- they don't bother you but they're also available whenever you need them and up for a beer on the deck, too. We were here in the winter, so we didn't enjoy that as much as we might have but there were still a couple of warm afternoons!
