I stayed for 6 months at Jon’s place. It’s a nice residential area about 40 minutes from downtown DC by bus. There is a supermarket 3 minutes away and free street parking. Jon is super nice and very reachable whenever you have a question/problem. There are three other rooms which were full with interns and other young people who were quiet and respecting of each other’s privacy. The only thing is that if your cleanliness standards are higher than the average American college student, you might end up being the person that does some extra cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom. Otherwise it’s a nice and cozy room!
