Apartments: Spacious, clean, and affordable. Poured concrete floors and high ceilings in the 2-floor loft unit strike the right balance for unpretentious comfort. Interior units keep the noise of busy 14th street at bay. Hearing your neighbors is not an issue either with the concrete walls instead of drywall. Pet friendly (with restrictions) if you have fur-babies.
Amenities: Two-floor gym with TV-equipped cardio equipment, weight machines, and free weights, plus a studio where classes
...are held three times per week and available for individual use at all other times. Concierge team is courteous and helpful. Maintenance staff is responsive and does a great job of keeping the building clean. Large roof deck with grills, tables, and chairs offers a nice view of DC, while the atrium offers more grills and bocce courts. Community room can be rented out for private events and the business center offers printing and a conference room, though I've never used either of them.
Neighborhood: The neighborhood is transitional and busy, but good thing you can escape it all in your oasis of an apartment! There is a big-box haven across the street (Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc), but there are also a lot of great Mom and Pop restaurants nearby. Metro access is immediate and there are a plethora of buses available in front of the building to get you cross-town, down-town, or outta-town.
