Alex was a very open and accommodating host. He gave clear instructions on getting there and using the WiFi. The room was as pictured, not very large but with a comfortable bed and large closet. The neighborhood is very convenient, the green/ yellow line and the red line are both about a 10 minute's walking distance, and the Capitol building and national mall are about a 35-40 minute walk. The house in general was nice, with new furniture and a large smart TV with netflix, and it was tidy, but did not really seem to have a 'deep clean', particularly in the bathrooms and the kitchen. In general, the room was good for my 5 week stay, it was comfortable and convenient, I was able to cook in the kitchen, and the washer and dryer were very great for doing laundry.
