This is a very nice place, very clean and attractive. It's a bit of a hike (several blocks) to the closest Metro station - not bad if you don't mind walking. It's in a multi-cultural residential neighborhood, obviously not upscale by DC standards, but not run-down or unsafe feeling. Lots of people out walking their dogs, walking to the Metro, etc. Some very trendy places to eat a short walk away, but also a Safeway and Wendy's near the Metro station if you're looking to eat more inexpensively.
