Peabody and Theoharis Management, LLC

Overall good and very safe. But my unit gets very little sunlight and the dishwasher hardly works. Laundry machines are located on each floor but are expensive to operate ($2.30 to wash and $2.30 to dry) and delicate load does not clean clothes properly. Convenient trash chute on each floor.

I loved living at the Washington house and loved my unit there. I think I got lucky with the location of my unit in the building because I had big windows that looked out into the courtyard. Also I loved having access to the rooftop and on July 4th had one of the best spots in the city to watch the fireworks! The only negative about my experience was a staff member at the front desk, but the rest of the management team was great.

While there isn't much light in my studio, I have an incredible amount of space (most importantly, a HUGE closet). The apartment was renovated before I move in. The front desk staff are extremely friendly and very cautious. Someone is cleaning the lobby every morning when I wake up. There's a great rooftop and a gym that's rarely busy. They generally respond to maintenance requests within a day.

No-frills living but great value and particularly great location. Most of the staff is amazing and very responsive. Since it is an older building, certainly not a lot of storage but the space itself is well-maintained, and rent is very affordable for the neighborhood. Wish that there was washer/dryer in unit.

I am very happy with my decision to live here. The location is amazing, my apartment is comfortable, and I have had few problems. Maintenance is a little slow to respond in my experience, but after a reminder here or there, my few issues were always resolved. I really like the layout of my unit and I think given the prices in the area, it's pretty reasonable for what I am getting. glad to find a nice place that is pet-friendly. The walls are thick and it's really quiet in my unit! Apartment staff are generally friendly and helpful, and they know all the residents, making it more secure. I really appreciate the bike storage in the basement ($60 a year extra, but well worth it for security). Nice laundry room, never too busy. The elevator breaks a lot. I live on the first floor so this doesn't bother me. Probably not the best place to own a car.

We've lived at Washington House for more than 2 years. Our corner unit overlooks Meridian Hill Park, plus we have a dog and love being in such a dog-friendly building. It's a big unit with great windows and amazing wood floors, plus rent-control means you can get great rates. Amazing roof deck and garden with bbq. Best units are renovated with updated kitchens - we also are lucky on top floor to have a fireplace. Management responds quickly to repair requests. Is an older building, gym area is really really small, and I wish laundry in-unit. But laundry and trash rooms on each floor are super convenient and we really love living here.

I'd say one of the major selling points for this building is it's convenient location. Just a few minutes walk from U street, it is conveniently close to bars and restaurants without the inconvenience of the drunk weekend crowd or other related hassle. The bus stop for the S1,S2, and S4 is right outside the building, and it's only a 6 minute walk to the U street station. Trader Joes, Safeway and Whole Foods are also located close by.
