The place is great and the neighborhood has character. I would stay there again. But the neighborhood is not particularly safe (was chased once by a person. When coming from the metro station, do not take the 7th then T street rout - it is much safer to take the S st then 8th st). There are pretty loud clubs on 9th st (right in front of the apartment) that play music to roughly around 3 am. I am a sound sleeper and did not care much about it, but it is a constant background noise. The people that work in the building are great - super friendly.
