This was a very clean, updated, and nice place to stay for a few days. The apartment itself was very affordable and more spacious than a hotel room. It was about a $15 Uber ride away from the museums and monuments, which was what brought us to D.C. That ended up being well worth it to avoid the traffic and trying to find parking.
I was disappointed in the area, though, as there was no way I'd take my family out for a walk. We were accosted by locals at the nearby grocery store and again at the gas station around the corner by locals begging for money. While waiting for an Uber one morning, a very friendly neighbor cleaning his car approached and cautioned us to be careful, saying that it wasn't a safe neighborhood. In his words, we were advised to "keep our heads on a swivel." That got me curious, so I checked D.C.'s crime mapping website and was shocked to find that in the past year, there had been 5 homicides withing 1500 feet of our location. Had I known this beforehand, I'd have looked elsewhere.
All in all, though, the apartment was very nice and very clean. Stephen was very prompt in responding to emails and we hardly heard any noise from upstairs.
