We were visiting our son who lives in DC, and stayed at Kika's for 5 days. Her apartment is just like the photos...new, clean and stylish. We were very comfortable there, and felt safe. The neighborhood is vibrant with people walking and biking, many nearby shops, and eateries, with Meridian Park just up the street. Riding the red rental bikes was fun, and a great way to get around with the bike station 1 block away. Trader Joes, and Harris Teeter grocery are within walking distance ( 10-15 min walk), which is great for snacks, and eating in. Typical Uber to the National Mall area was $10 on way. We would definitely stay at Kika's again!
