Meridian at Carlyle: A great place (Recommending!)

2008-08-20T14:03:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I like living here. The rooms are bright, and having a place that faces the park on the 10th floor gives the illusion that the apartment is brighter and spacier than it really is. THAT IS OK IN MY BOOK. From our apartment, I can see at least 7 fireworks ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-04-27T22:56:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here in 2005 and 2006, so my comments are a bit dated, but thougt I'd add my 2 cents.

Meridian at Carlyle: Used to be a nice place to live (Not Recommending)

2008-01-05T15:18:01-06:00

From blp7@georgetown.edu: We recently left after four years. It has gone downhill the entire time. Mgmt went from being unresponsive under Michelle to downright rude under Irina. Staff turnover in the office is high, which doesn't help. Common carpets are worn and dirty. Local area is noisy with construction.Bikes were stolen from ... [click to read full apartment review]

From wemetonline: Not only is this building in a great location, the staff here is fantastic beyond words! I have never been greeted by anyone in this building with anything but a warm smile; we work from home and are here constantly, so I speak knowingly. The leasing office is extremely helpful ...

Meridian at Carlyle: Wonderful place to live (Recommending!)

2007-05-18T19:12:22-06:00

From Danmangan: The Meridian has been our alternate home for three years during the tenure of my wife's job.

Meridian at Carlyle: Very Satisfied (Recommending!)

2007-01-14T17:19:37-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you're looking for a bargain on rent, this is probably not ideal place to look. However, if you're looking for a quiet and luxurious rental building near the Metro and Whole Foods, this might be what you're looking for.

Most of the units have sunrooms with floor to ceiling ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Carlyle: Sad But True (Not Recommending)

2006-12-12T11:25:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am also guilty of moving into the building without paying heed to their customer service warnings. I am miserable. I can't stand to deal with the people in the leasing office.

Meridian at Carlyle: Sol Rosenberg (Recommending!)

2006-05-16T18:45:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The stairways are very dangerous. I fell down the stairs and my shoes came off. The place is too tall, I looked out my window and now I can't see so good. I thought it was just me but the air conditioning is dry and flares up my allergies. Very ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Carlyle: Watch Out (Not Recommending)

2006-05-06T16:48:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Expect to hear construction and be stuck in construction traffic on a regular basis. The construction is non stop and the management offices will throw up their hands and say "it's not our problem"... Be prepared for the superficial "we care but sorry..." No respect for quality of life as ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-03-23T09:42:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We love the apartment and the location is great. Management is courteous but will not negotiate if you have a problem. We had a one bedroom and found out we were having a baby.

2005-02-10T20:50:37-06:00

From oradrocyaj@yahoo.com: I chose this property after taking a tour and comparing to other properties all over the dc area. If you're moving here, avoid any property with the word "commons" in it, it means "ghetto" in NVA apartment-speak. Also, I personally avoid any archstone/Charles E. Smith property because they are poorly ... [click to read full apartment review]

Meridian at Carlyle: This place BLOWS (Not Recommending)

2004-10-27T17:13:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The staff at the place has no compassion for people. They are all money hungry and should be ashamed.
