We spent 4 months at Jerrod's place. It was absolutely great! the apartment was clean, modern, and had everything we needed. it felt like a home, and we were sad to leave it.
the location is overall good- 12 minute walk to U street metro, buses nearby. walking distance to U street, which is a fun and busy area. 5 minutes away from Whole foods, also a convenience store across the street. The neighborhood is not the best there is but I also never felt unsafe there. It's certainly not a "bad" location. Overall my stay was nearly perfect, and Jerrod was a really really great host- always available in a matter of minutes, and once we had a problem (e.g. AC got broke) he managed to bring someone over in a matter of 1-2 days.
Highly recommend this place.
