Moving Progress
July 22, 2005 ( life )
I've chosen this place from CraigsList:
Room for rent in 4 bedroom rowhouse, shared bath. Hard-wood floors. Rent includes utilities, including high-speed wireless Internet and unlimited long-distance calls. Washer/dryer in the basement. Room can be furnished or unfurnished. Temporary resident is OK. The space would be perfect for a grad student/intern or young professional.Off-street parking; 10 minute walk to Rhode Island Avenue metro (Red line); convenient to downtown and the Hill; walk to good grocery store and drug store.
Housemates include journalist/grad student, engineer, and barista. There's a small dog and one very cool kitty cat. We're all friendly and tolerant, and quite busy, so you'll frequently find yourself with the place all to yourself. We care less about whether you're a guy or gal, gay or straight, Dem or Republican than if you're going to pick your dirty towels up off the floor and wash your dishes. :-)
It's 600 with utils included and a W/D, on the Red line metro and only 3 mi from GWU, so I can walk if I have time, weather permitting. The live-in owner writes for the Washington Post and blogs as well, and they do communal dinners/cooking and such. Evidentially they use the peapod service for groceries and split it up evenly.
Should be fun. And, if not, for whatever reason, it'll be soooo much easier to find a place while actually in DC, and knowing the neighborhoods better.
I'm trying to get in touch with the Avis place nearest me to cement my rental, they came in at under $600 for a minivan or SUV. I think I'll try to drop by after work and look at the options.
