D.C. Neighborhood's

I'm a sheriff's deputy in Florida and I was hoping a fellow LEO in the D.C. area can give me some advice. My 24 year old daughter is relocating to D.C. in a week. She has looked at a couple of apartments and can't decide which one to pick. One is on H street, the other is in the "Waterfront area". She was told that the H street area is not as safe as the waterfront area, but she likes it because of all the restaurant's and shopping, etc.
How safe is the H street area? She wants to live there but she knows my concerns about crime. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
