My friend and I stayed for 2 months while interning in DC and had a great experience. PROS: Newly decorated and plenty of space for 2. We had everything we needed for a long-term stay, including kitchen items and a washer/dryer. Lauren was super responsive whenever we had questions. The NoMa Gallaudet U Metro stop is a 9 min. walk away, and there are 3 grocery stores within 10-15 min. CONS: The area is still gentrifying, so I would recommend avoiding the area north of New York Ave after dark. There were initially a few mosquitos and flies (since it's a basement apartment and we stayed during the humid DC summer), but Lauren gave us a trap that quickly solved the problem.
