Room details
Available for move in ASAP! We have a room open at our 6 bed/3 bath giant rowhome in the H St / NoMa / Capitol hill area! Total of 6 people living in the house when we're full (4 rooms upstairs, 2 rooms in basement, full bath on each floor).
The room is a furnished cozy upstairs room (58 sq ft) with a desk, small dresser, ceiling fan and large window for $795/month all inclusive. Note that this room is SMALL, ideal for a minimalist (i.e. 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 giant kitchen on the main level. COVID-19 aware adults only and only singles (no couples) please! We're a minimalist, clutter-free household and have no space for additional kitchen items or furniture! Please contact us with some information about yourself, why you're interested in the place, and how long you'd be looking to stay!

Us:
Diverse household from all across the country, all between our 20s-30s. 6 people total living in the house (when we're full) - currently 1 woman + 4 men + 1 open room = 6. We're a bunch of professionals and fellows who work in government / Capitol Hill, the nonprofit sector, and academia. We would like to find roomies who will enjoy the place as much as we do - its in a great location, in the heart of H Street! One of us is leaving to move closer to campus. We cook a few times a week and have varying schedules of teleworking from home. The house is very spacious so it usually doesn't feel crowded, even when we're a full house. The house vibe is laid back, professional - 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.
