Dear PoP – What is a Realistic Price for a Room to Rent in a Safe Neighborhood?

“Dear PoP,

This fall, I will be taking courses at Johns Hopkins’ DC campus while interning on the Hill.

Currently I am looking for a room to rent, and was wondering if you might know of someone searching for a well-mannered roommate. I am trying to stay within a budget and don’t require much at all, but having a comfortable and safe living situation is important. I am unsure as to what I should be paying and where I should be living. Any leads or advice you may have would be most appreciated.”

What do you guys think the going rate is if you get a roomate? $700 – $1000? If this reader is going to be studying in Dupont but working on the Hill where should he focus his search – on the Hill or by Dupont?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
