I have been living in this apartment for a year, and am preparing to move out. I have a renovated unit that is well-updated, with carpets throughout (besides kitchen and bathroom). Overall the apartment itself is very comfortable, with a few issues: the bathroom is very small (it even has a mini door); the windows are very outdated and have trouble opening/closing; there is no DisposAll in the kitchen; kitchen is also very small with very little counter space.
The building is within walking
...distance to anything in Cleveland Park, about 5 minutes from the Metro, with lots of bus lines out front--huge plus.
The issues are greater with the building. They are doing constant renovations, and while you might think the apartment being renovated isn't that close to your unit, the construction noise has been constant since I moved in, and extremely loud (jackhammering) at times. When I first moved in, the leasing agent told me they were planning on updating the common areas; this hasn't happened and they are very unsatisfactory for the cost of rent. The gym is laughable; one or two weight machines, a couple of cardio machines, no free weights. The concierge staff are mostly good, but the leasing agency always seem a little greasy to me and I don't like working with them at all.
Rent increases this year (almost $100) are definitely not work the mediocrity I've felt about this building.
