Peacesoul,
I'm not sure if you have been there recently. The neighborhood has changed a lot. It's one block from the metro and next to navy yard. We wouldn't have picked a place if we felt that the area was ghetto or unsafe.  Hamilai pani jhyan ko maya cha ni! :)

I hope to see you with your friends at the concert! 

Cheers!
