Jon is a fantastic host with an amazing house! The room is even bigger than it appears in the pictures, and Jon will go out of his way to make sure everything is easy and comfortable. The house itself is very well decorated, and home (temporary or permanent) to some of the most interesting and kind people you'll meet.

In the 3 months I stayed at Jon's house, he was traveling a fair amount for work. But in all my interactions with him we had great conversation-- ask him about the future of transit! Jon lives by the golden rule-- so as long as you're a normal, respectful person things are going to be great.

Other pluses to the location include easy bus access to downtown (and the metro isn't too far a walk away), being literally across the street from a large and very nice Safeway, being a short walk from the hiking/running trails of Rock Creek Park. There is also a large Walmart supercenter nearby, and a quick walk the opposite direction will take you to Takoma, which has some great restaurants and a fantastic Sunday farmer's market.

10/10, would stay again.
