I stayed here for a spring internship (which, very unfortunately, was cut short by covid-19). The space is nothing fancy, but was perfect for a student on a budget. My room had plenty of space for all of my stuff and included both a closet and a movable wardrobe. Walls are thin, but roommates are respectful. The three bathrooms are shared with the entire house, but I never had any issues with bathrooms all being in use. The kitchen is relatively small, but the downstairs has a hot plate, full fridge/freezer, and plenty of cupboard space. The other housemates mostly kept to themselves, but were always willing to answer any questions I had. John responded quickly to my concerns: the only potential issue was when my room was being painted and I had to stay at another place for 2 nights; however, John booked and paid for the room, offered to drive me to/from, and made sure to book somewhere near where I work, so it wasn’t an issue. I also LOVE the area —yoga studio, cafes, library, nightlife, cidery, book stores, etc all within a 15 min walk, and downtown is a straight 30 minute walk. There are also several bus stops really close by, which made cold/wet days bearable. Bloomingdale is lovely and, even as a young female, I never felt unsafe day or night. Lastly, the place was affordable compared to the rest of DC, with all of the perks of being near the heart of things. Wish my stay hadn’t ended early!
