    Very historic, lots of fun and interesting things to do, transit accessible, and has some of the DC areas most beautiful buildings. Traffic can be a hassle.

    We stayed at the peake-Fairfax bed and breakfast right off king st. It was amazing and the owners were the sweetest most inviting couple I've ever met.

    I attend graduate school here. It's a very nice community. Coming from the upper Midwest, I did not expect people to be as friendly – but they are. 😉

    Convenient city for tourists who visit Washington DC. Decent price hotels, Metro stops, restaurants, and shops.

    Fish Market serves quality fare at a fair price. Fried shrimp are really good.
