Morning - so this isn't a real post - well I guess it is real in that it exists, but it is not real in that it is not part of any sort of "journaling." I am looking to help out a friend who may be looking to move out to work in the DC area fairly shortly. They will be looking for a place along these lines:
In terms of housing in DC. I'm still thinking lower MD. Has to be on/near Metro. Dogs allowed. Minimum 2 bedrooms, prefer 3 bedrooms. Nice neighborhood, where it's safe to walk the pooch at any hour. Has to have A/C. I'd love to keep the rent around $1k/mo, but I realize that's unrealistic. It has to be under $2k or else we won't eat or have utilities, which doesn't work either. You get the idea. Thanks for asking around.
If you know of folks/companies/etc... that would be renting something along those lines please let me know.
thanks oodles!

update to add additional info (thanks AK for the request for clarification!)

One dog, 50 pounds. Yard is a big big plus but not a necessity, safe walking areas nearby are imperative.
I'd love to be able to walk to the Metro, but again that's a plus not a necessity. If I can drive to the nearest station in 15 minutes and park there, that's okay.
It's really a combination of price, dog-friendly factors, and how long my commute would be. So, for example, if the place doesn't have a yard (factor against) that may be outweighed if it's a short commute and a really good price.
