I stayed here for 5 weeks while I completed an internship nearby and it was a comfortable experience. Dawn was a great host, who usually keeps to herself, but makes herself available to help you out. I felt like I was at home here!

The room is plenty big (big bed, closet, 2 drawers, a work desk/chair, and space to walk around still). The living, TV, and dining rooms are spacious as well! Kitchen comes with some storage space, fridge/freezer, toaster, stove, and all the utensils/dining ware you will need. There's also a washer and dryer in the basement as well.

The house is in a hilly residential neighborhood. There is a park (and a basketball court) only a few minutes walk away. It is a 2-3 minute walk to the nearest bus stops where the bus can take you to downtown Silver Spring/Silver Spring metro station (takes about 15 minutes walking) or to DC. Of course you can also drive your car (lots of free street parking at the house, and a few free parking garages near the Silver Spring metro on weekends). There are plenty of stores and restaurants, and some nightlife in downtown Silver Spring. DC is only a 20-40 minute public transportation ride depending on where/when you are going.

Overall, I would say this is a great place in a great location for students who are working during the weekdays but still want to have fun during the weeknights and weekends!
