I really enjoy living here. It's walking distance to Trader Joes, GW campus and the metro. It's really clean and the management is very quick and helpful. I wish the gym downstairs had some newer equipment though. It is a little pricey for a studio though.

The location is hard to beat. Walking distance to Georgetown, GW, grocery stores, and the metro. Management is ok and tries to fix things promptly, but it's an old building and they always seem to be fixing something. Also, there's a lot of students that sometimes make noise, but management helps if you complain. Gym is old, tiny, and nothing to write home about.

I generally think I am getting a great value for what I pay in rent, especially considering how pricey the area is. The apartments are a good size with big windows. The layout of my place makes it seem larger than it is.
A lot of the 925 residents are students at GW and so the building can get noisy on the weekends. Whole Foods is just a short walk away, as is the metro. I use the fitness center regularly and although the equipment is not the best, it definitely does the trick. Management/staff are very friendly and I have no issues there. It would be nice to have newer kitchen and laundry appliances however.

The negatives are: (1) there are a lot of weed smokers in the building, and sometimes the smell comes through the vents; (2) there are occasional plumbing issues; (3) the area is poorly lit at night; and, (4) management does not do a good job of communicating to the tenants (e.g. when they are turning off the water to do plumbing work). Also, the noise from the construction on the facade was HORRIBLE. However, the construction is almost complete, so it will not be a problem for future residents.

On the positive side: the building is clean, it is close to the university, it is close to the metro, it is close to grocery stores, and it is pretty quiet at night. Also, I feel safe here because there is someone at the reception desk 24 hours a day.
