Marta Questions for You Atlanteans!

Our daughter will be driving to D*C by herself this year, coming in from the west. My question(s) concern several of the long-term parking stations. Of the ones I have listed here, which do you think is the most secure, both for her car and her traveling alone? What are the various neighborhoods like? Do you know if any of these have security? Are there any that you would unequivocally say "whatever you do, don't park there!"?

Thank you so much! This is her very first trip to D*C and we want to make sure it goes well for her. :-)

I'll third Lindbergh. One of the largest garages, in a reasonably well patrolled neighborhood. I regularly patronize this station at either end of the schedule (1AM, 5AM) and have never seen less than two uniformed officers either on foot or in cars.

South and West are generally worse neighborhoods, with East being average and North being good. And there's the train switching issue if you go any farther north than Lindbergh.
