Located within walking distance of Silver Spring or Takoma Park downtowns; 1 mi./walking distance to Silver Spring UM Shuttle, 0.8 mi. to Takoma metro station... (red line), 5.1 mi./15 min drive to University of Maryland/CP. Suite has a separate entrance and its own bathroom with a shower, a large closet, ample storage space, a desk, and two windows.

You will share most of the house with only one other person and have most of the basement to yourself. Your housemate is a well-traveled male professional who works remotely or hybrid, who speaks English, French and some Spanish. If you are new to the US or the area, you will have a positive experience with someone who can help you navigate the metro area and the local culture. If you have lots of stuff and don't appreciate a clean and organized home, this place is not for you. Rental is best suited for college grad students, post-docs, faculty-staff, young professionals who look for a quiet, friendly, and comfortable home to do their work/homework, relax and have easy access to the area's best features, sights and places to visit or for hanging out.

Your housemate (and owner of the house) owns a 60lbs Malinois dog who is very friendly, clean, and does not go in the basement apartment. So you should be OK with being around a dog.
