Columbia Heights apartment

The apartment was clean, well organized, conveniently located for a short walk to the metro, and bus, grocery store and many restaurants and shopping. We were able to easily get around DC exploring the sights. We stayed for one week and were comfotable. Could have used a few throw blankets for when we watched tv in the evenings and a extra sheet. (One bed did not have a top sheet. ) Was quiet at night time and we were able to sleep well. This apartment worked well for our vacation.

Great location for exploring

First, the good parts. The location was perfect for us. It was close to the Metro stop, shops, and had a variety of restaurants in the area. We were able to explore DC to our hearts' content. However, there were some downsides. When we first got to the property (about 6 p.m.), we discovered the unit had not been cleaned. That was very disconcerting. The property manager did respond quickly and got the cleaning crew there rapidly, but it was still a 2 hour wait for the cleaning to be completed. Very frustrating after a long trip. Another issue was a lack of water pressure in the shower. There's also no way to control the temperature in the unit. It was quite chilly while we were there. Even with the space heaters (the one in my room didn't work), the unit remained very cool throughout our visit. Fortunately, the beds were comfortable with plenty of blankets. And we both enjoyed having TVs in our respective bedrooms.

Friends visiting the capital

I was disappointed in the property. It was very convenient for us and a nice walk to Trivolia Square but the actual apartment was not what I would expect. In other places I have stayed, there is usually a welcome binder with information on stores, close by eateries, and much more. We found one sheet that told us about the lock and internet pass code. There was also a map of the metro system but it would have been nice to have a brochure to be able to take with us. Also it would have been nice to know that the grocery charged for bags if you didn't bring your own and that there was a shopping cart in the kitchen to use. WIth no instructions available, we had issues with all the tv's as we did not know how to turn on the tv - given there were two remotes and there was no listing of what the local stations were. No directions on how to regulate the heat as being a lower unit, it was chilly at night. The beds had a sheet on the mattress but no sheet above and between you and the comforter on the bed. Pillows were big but very hard and high. Our friends didn't even use theirs. In the bathroom, the toilet paper holder was broken and every time you pulled the paper, the end of the holder fell off and the roll went rolling across the floor. Ended up just taking the roll off and setting it beside the toilet. There were no extra towels, no extra blankets. As we attempted to go out to the patio, we had to move bags of dirt at the top of the stairs in order to get out and the patio was rather junky with old grills and other stuff sitting around. Was not happy either to see bug spray kept under the kitchen sink. You do hear the people upstairs so if you are light sleeper this is not for you. I rate it fair as it was convenient for us and we like the area but the unit did not give us a warm welcome or make us feel comfortable, it was a place to sleep was all.

The property wasn't perfect, but it served its purpose for our stay. The accommodations were adequate, and we had what we needed during our visit. There were a few areas that could use some attention and updating, but overall it was a decent place to stay for a short trip. The host was responsive, and the check-in process was straightforward. It was convenient having Giant within walking distance.

Convenient and economical

Nothing fancy, but everything you need is here. Can't beat the location with proximity to grocery shopping and the Metro. Although the people in the floor above were quiet, the sound of foot steps or chairs moving is pretty amplified.... but not enough to worry about. This unit can't be beat for convenience and price in DC. We would definitely come again!
