I have lived at the Bond for close to 2 years and have had an overall wonderful experience. The pros highly outweigh the cons that I have, but this is likely dependent on the very specific things I wanted to have in my living quarters.

Pros: The location is perfect and the units (and appliances) are all brand new. The maintenance service is fast and thorough when responding to requests. Though the units are "micro" sized, the entire length of my hallway has built in bookshelves that more than compensate for the lack of space in the bedrooms.

Cons: The concierge service is highly convenient - when they are there after 1pm and before 9pm - but the staff does not man the desk 24hrs which can be inconvenient when I need my packages but can't get home while they are working. The building's WiFi is frustratingly spotty at peak times and tends not to connect when I am in my bedroom.

The Bond is a great and historic building with lots of character and great amenities. I have top of the line appliances, including an in-apartment washer and dryer. The doorman is a great addition, and while the gym is small -it is very convenient. The only downside is that my apartment is a little too small, and I could use more space for the amount of money I am paying.

Really helpful staff and friendly doormen make The Bond really feel like home. The location is amazing! There are lots of great restaurants nearby and the apartment is in walking distance of several Metro stops, including Dupont Circle. There is also a Chipotle a few blocks away that is great when I'm in a hurry.

The building and the surroundings feel incredibly safe, which was really important to me when I was moving to DC. The kitchen is gorgeous and the appliances look great and are high quality. The apartments have a really great modern feel to them and the built-in Nest thermostats are a cool feature. Overall, I haven't had any complaints so far.
