About 2735 Sherman Ave NW
Available for move-in as early as Sunday, June 7th (or possibly a few days earlier, if needed)! We have a room opening up in our 4 bed / 2.5 bath rowhome in the fun U Street / Columbia Heights area!
The room is a fully-furnished cozy upstairs room that comes with a full-size mattress and bed frame, nightstand, a shelf stand, compact wall dresser, with a large window that lets in loads of sunlight, recessed lights, and a 2 x 2 closet for $895 all inclusive/month. Please note that this room is SMALL, ideal for a minimalist (ie cozy. If you're cool with tiny living and don't have much stuff, then this will work for you, otherwise, probably not).

We all share the kitchen and half bath on the main level. Adults only, only singles (no couples), and no pets please! Please contact us with some information about yourself, why you're interested in the place, and when you'd be looking to move (so we know you're a real person)!

Us:
Diverse household of varying backgrounds from all across the world, all in our 20s. Currently 1 Woman + 2 Men + 1 open room = 4 total roommates. We're a couple of grad and undergrad students at GW and non-profit consultants. One of us is leaving to pursue a dream job out of state! We would like to find a replacement roomie who will enjoy the place as much as we do - its in a great location, in the heart of Columbia Heights! We have traditionally cooked a few times a week and all have varying schedules but are able to hangout when we've all been home. The house is kept very tidy so it usually doesn't feel crowded, even when we're all home. The house vibe has been laid back, professional and we'd like to stick to that - very chill, drama free, where people are able to hang out with roommates or go about your business. We're all expected to communicate well to keep a clean and comfy home.
