Pros:
Great location
Very secure and safe (apartment is on the 4th floor) with elevator
Wonderful neighborhood (restaurants, bakeries)
Very close to Metro, shopping
Blackout shutters on all windows
Has dishwasher and washing machine
Cute patio overlooking courtyard
Cons:
Major hot water issues. We did not have hot water for the last 4 days and the owner did not do enough to resolve the issue or communicate consistently. I spent half an hour with the tech who admitted he had no clue and just had me start and restart the heater a dozen times but it did not resolve the issue.
Apartment is full of personal items including a giant crib blocking the bed room, closets full of owner's clothes, cabinets full of owners personal affects
The bed is not a queen sized bed (US queen size). It is only a full sized bed.
If you are planning on doing any cooking, there is only good pot. They have multiple pots with all the non stick coating ripped off and unsafe for cooking.
There seemed to be some cleanliness issues with stains on furniture
