Jacob's place is just as described and it's great. It's a nice 2 story row house on a really cute (and quiet) street just around the corner from the "U" St corridor with lots of coffee shops, restaurants, etc. The house itself is really nice, very clean, and easy to get into with keyless entry. Jacob himself was super responsive to any questions I had when I was there. I highly this place.
A few observations about the area:
* Parking. Street parking is always tight in areas like this. If you know what parking in Georgetown is like, this will be similar. 2hr limit during the day, overnight parking limited to cars with permits for the zones. Nothing unusual there for anyone who's lived in a city. An app such as "SpotHero" can help -- they have integrations with public garages around the area so you can park overnight as needed. There are also people listing their own garages but that's a bit hit-or-miss depending on the area.
* Crowds. None on this street. It was really quiet even on weekend nights when the "U" St corridor was packed. No one came down this street (and it's really close to that area).
* Metro access. Easy - about 2 blocks away -- Green/Yellow line. Very very convenient.
* Others: Logan Circle and Dupont Circle are both in easy walking distance (about 20 min).
