I have been living in this building since July 2007 and I just renewed for another year. I looked for other options but could not find one for the same price and with such a great location.

My only complaint about this building is that it needs to be cleaned and maintained better. The carpet of the hallways is old and the hallways smell, maybe it can be fixed with better ventilation. That really bothers me, especially when I bring guests.

On the other side the location is excellent compared to the price. I basically walk or bike almost everywhere in DC as the building is in such a center location. Most of the staff is nice and they have followed-up on every request that I have made about maintenance in my apartment; not perfectly but acceptably. If I have found roaches in my apartment it may have been 4 or 5 times in the one year and a half that I have been there, which is pretty reasonable. On each occassion I have informed the building and they have sent an exterminator free of charge. I have never seen a mouse in this building; I have seen small roaches though sometimes in the hallway or close to the laundry area and garbage rooms.

The carpet in my apartment is new and the kitchen/bathroom cabinets are old (60's or 70's I guess) but ok.

The grocery store is very convenient although a little pricey; but in a cold day it is very well worth it.
