All in all, a great location and reasonable price. You trade privacy, peace & quiet for a central location and the "home" feel of a well-equipped kitchen. The downsides are there are 3 rooms in this house, so it's your luck as to what schedule your housemate keeps, and there are very creaky wooden stairs, plus a toilet fill valve that keeps refilling intermittently contributes to noise. The benefits include a fairly central location in DC, free parking, well-equipped kitchen with gas stoves (buy some groceries and cook your own breakfast), easy keyless entry (doorcode), and a private roomkey which you can lock your room with. Generally, the place is well-maintained, clean (I met the cleaners who wash all the dishes, towels, and sheets).
