That doesn't really narrow it down either. It describes a very large area. It could be a very nice place or a very not-nice place.

Well the area I know best is M st to K st, between 8th and the Metro station. It's getting better and better, but still has a ways to go. I went down M st. last night while walking to the station, and didn't see anything bad there.

The area near Galludet is fair. It is close to some of the nicest neighborhoods in the entire country (Capitol Hill, south of H Street) but it is certainly a work in progress north of H to Florida. I'd say 2,000 is a fairly good value there if you get 3BR.
