I stayed with Dawn for several months while I was studying for a semester in DC. I honestly could not have asked for a better place to call home for those months. From our first communication, Dawn was accessible and she was always there to answer any questions or solve any problems I had, but also have me plenty of space in the house. There were three of us staying at the house at the same time but it never felt crowded or uncomfortable. The neighborhood is as has been described below - very safe, green and accessible by public transportation, if a little far from downtown (personally I really enjoyed my walks to Silver Spring and back and never felt unsafe, even late at night). The house and room are exactly as pictured and perfectly suited me. If I'm ever back in DC, I would 100% stay here again.
