This is the smaller of two bedrooms rented out in this really nice row house in an up-and-coming neighborhood. Very central, close to the metro, close to good food stores and coffee places.

The bedroom is small-ish, but has a walk-in closet attached and is comfortable. It is quiet at night. Its size is only an issue if you want to do more than sleep in it, but since guests are very welcome to the whole house, there is plenty of space to have. I certainly never felt confined. The bathroom is shared with the other guest. The whole house has been completely refurbished and is gorgeous and comfortable.

Joel really makes you feel welcome, in a very live-and-let-live kind of way. He worked long hours when I was there and I didn't see him much. But he was always cordial and outgoing when around.
