So, is it a decent house? All we have heard of the landlord was highly positive (this certainly doesn't sound like a 'rent it to the college idiots so we can collect the insurance when they burn it down' type, although they are not local), and it is near campus. The current tenants are obviously less-than-ideal, which would explain the poor conditions prevailing at the time of the tour, and my prospective co-tenants are (mostly) straight-arrow guys. It is supposed to be wired for high-speed Internet, as well.
The other option, of course, is commuting from home – an hour trip ($1.85 off peak, $2.50 on, one way) taking the Metro. Or, if I'm lucky, staying on campus somewhere.
