This home is located in a really cute and quiet neighborhood, and is just a few blocks from the main street in Glover Park. It is also within walking distance (under 2 miles) to the heart of Georgetown, so there are a lot of options for food and shops. The room is located in the basement of a row home. There was a relative amount of privacy, as long as you are ok for the host to come into the space to use the laundry facilities (which was fine for me, as I was not there during the day). There were some issues with cleanliness - not allergen friendly - but the place was tidy. Communication was fine, but only via phone calls; I prefer text and email to calls, but the host did not respond to any of those options. She did provide her parking space located in the alleyway behind her home - there is only 2 hour parking during the day on the street with limited spaces available.
