Placemakr NoMa is in the heart of DC, near the Gallaudet/NoMa transit station. There are shops and restaurants within a few blocks.
The whole building is short term rental apartments, and there are digital keypad locks at the front door of the building, the entry of the apartment, etc. The front desk is staffed for most of the day, and the staff members there are helpful and kind. The people in the neighboring apartments were quiet and polite - we slept well. The kitchen had new appliances and enough cookware/serveware.
The setting is urban, with auto traffic at some hours, people riding electric bikes and scooters on the sidewalks, some loud/rude people on the sidewalks, etc.
