I stayed a couple of weeks at Ed a.k.a Seveer's home in Sept and Oct 2013. I felt at home right from the time I got off the metro bus [D4], which is just in front of the entrance gate. Ed and his friend Angel [who used to come now and again] are great hosts, friendly, frank AND above all very neat, hygienic and environmentally-conscious. On my first day, Angel walked me around the neighbourhood and the following day Ed drove me around to the shops. Very kind of them, I must add.

The room upstairs (where I stayed) had a comfortable double size bed and satellite TV. It was also very spacious, quite, personal and clean. It also comes with an extra small "study/closet" room next to it, which I used mostly to work on my computer. Ed allowed me to always use the bathrooms (downstairs or upstairs), laundry, kitchen, fridge, and at times share with me their food :-). He also cooked a number of times for us and his guests (who come once in a while). [Just make sure you clean after yourself - dishes etc, he is particular about that]

Overall, the house is quite stylish and well organized. The neighbourhood is also quite and safe. For transport, metro bus was the best option for me. I never had problems to get just about anywhere in DC from Ed's house, shops are also closed by (walking distance).

I would definitely recommend his place and use it again when I am back in DC.
