Verified Resident ā¢ 2017 - 2018
Overall, I have been really pleased with Senate Square. My unit is wonderful, the appliances are in great condition, you need a fob to get into the building so it feels safe, and there is very little noise through walls from the neighbors in and around the building. We have had several service requests submitted for small things (dishwasher door felt loose, microwave turntable stopped, clogged drain in the shower) which were all addressed within a day or two (they actually replaced the microwave with a newer model!). I also really appreciate the number of community events that are held here and the amount of advertising they do for local events around the neighborhood. CONS: Not sure if this is just my unit or common to all units, but the A/C is extremely loud. So much so that when we're watching a movie and the A/C comes on, we actually have to turn up the volume to still be able to hear the movie! It used to wake me up at night when I first moved in, but now I'm able to sleep through it. Also, the package organization/delivery system is garbage. The first few months I lived here it was out of order more often than not. Even now, they ask that you wait an hour before picking up a package after it's been delivered because someone is manually logging every package for the building. Lastly, I really love that this building is pet-friendly and it's nice to see so many dogs in the elevators, but sometimes the main entrance to the building smells like pee in the mornings because no one will walk their dog further than 15 feet from the doors. Management sends out emails about this all the time, but it's not really enforced so little has changed. My complaints are pretty minor though, so I would still definitely recommend this building to friends. We toured half a dozen comparable buildings around the H street neighborhood and this one was by far the biggest bang for your buck.
