Us: Diverse household of roommates from all across the world, all between our 20s-30s. 2 Women + 5 Men + 1 Open Room = 8 total roommates (when we're full). We're a bunch of federal/state/local government employees, graduate students, and professionals who work in engineering, public/legislative affairs, and at the library of congress. One of us is moving back home to New York for work. 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 Capitol Hill East! 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 all home.
