Mel, I don't know where you're staying, but if it's near a Metro station, and your office is near a Metro station, just take the Metro. I hate driving downtown...a lot of roads all run diagonal and there are traffic circles and a lot of them aren't very well marked, and it's pretty easy to get turned around if you're not familiar with the area. I mean, if you have parking at your apartment, by all means bring your car, but it may not be best to depend on it for day-to-day travelling.

I don't know which complex I'll be in or whether I'll be in Arlington or Bethesda, but all the complexes have Metro stops right outside. Since parking spots cost about $250 to rent, I'm not planning on taking my car. I seriously heart the Metro.
I'm really not that worried about safety...I've been to DC about 10 times over the years, so I know a little about it.
