I had a ten week internship in southern Maryland this summer. Being unable to drive, I needed a place within walking distance of the one bus route that passes by the internship location. This house was a fifteen minute walk from the bus stop. The location is also a 15 minute walk from a major DC Metro stop, so you are not isolated and can easily get into town to see all the DC attractions. If you have a car, it is easy to park also. I used Uber a few times to come home at night if I was really tired from walking around in the city.

I couldn't imagine a nicer host than Emily. Emily did her greatest to share the kitchen, fridge & freezer space with me throughout the summer. She was also generous to share the other common areas of the house (living room, TV, and a basement hang out area, plus washer/dryer, the house has everything you could need). The house is very clean and comfortable.

The guest room is large, and has big closets. The guest room and bathroom are also reasonably private from the rest of the house, on their own floor (the house has split levels). The air conditioning was great and something I looked forward to when coming home from a long day at work (DC is very humid, as is well known).

This is a quiet area, and a nice place to live. I had no problems.

There is one major supermarket about a 15 minutes walk away, and another about a 10 minutes walk away. I decided to use the Peapod grocery delivery service once a week for my heavier items and major shopping, but it was easy to pick up extra things at the market during the week as well.
