I stayed at Shareena's for 3 months. I was always super comfortable at the house and the room itself is a good size. Everyone was very sweet and open about me having my 2 cats with me. I took the metro every morning to Rosslyn (to the opposite side of DC) for my internship which took a total commute time of maybe 30 min. The walk from the house to the metro took me about 2 minutes so not far at all. Shareena is so nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend. Also the DC area can be a bit pricey so I was lucky to find her.
