Jonathon is a great host, quick to respond and keeps a clean space. I stayed for about three months during an internship in the fall. Pretty easy to get around, not too far from Takoma station and bus lines. Quiet, pretty residential neighborhood and free parking (definitely a plus) on side streets. Loved being so close to Rock Creek Park. Communal spaces are more or less like sharing an apartment with roommates, everyone is responsible for taking care of their stuff. Most other guests are also longer term stays, so it’s not like people are always cycling in and out. Commute into dc was about 35-40 mins for me, but manageable and quite good for the price.
