Looking for a sublet in DC: anyone know of a good place?

Hello,

I am looking to sublet an apartment from mid-September to end of October in DC.

It’s fine if the place is only available for one or two weeks within that period of time.

However it has to be very close to 16 and R street NW, no more than a few blocks.

You can contact me at aguerrucci@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Aude Guerrucci

Job well done, DC staffers.

For all of you who were covering the crash here in DC on the Red Line Metrorail, you did a really great job. It must have been a really difficult shoot and you all did really well. Jacquelyn, Win, Pablo, Gerald, Alex, Larry, Saul and all of you whose galleries I didn’t see, thank you for being so diligent on the beat. You make the news the world needs.
