Good value. Proximity to Metro and train invaluable for the itinerary during our stay. photos are representative/accurate except the apartment seems larger in photos. Nice appliances and appropriately outfitted kitchen - appreciated the coffee starter kit. If you like ice cubes - bring/buy a few trays. The boulangerie by the front door mentioned in the reviews that we were excited about was out of business, but nice cafés a few doors down and Monop (neighborhood grocery store) less than a block away was helpful - pay attention to the hours (larger one also nearby which we didn’t need to go to), all night convenience store 2 doors down. Fans provided for 2 of 3 rooms during the heat wave. Another fan and ceiling fans would be a nice add on although the heat wave was unprecedented. The building interior was more run down than expected with one off-putting resident and a few suspect tailgaters, but there are 2 security code doors in the foyer and the police station is next door - no fewer than 4 police cars parked on the street outside every night. Prepare to walk about 10 minutes to access the key and press both buttons on both sides of the lockbox to open. Apartment clean; linens as expected. We appreciated a large bathroom with double sink as a group of 4. Closed windows street side at bedtime - not unbearable traffic/train noise at all in spite of other guests comments. Building is very very quiet on the Courtyard side- a very pleasant surprise as everyone had their windows open.
The responsiveness of Joie management company was excellent? They helped us in a lock out situation by responding and solving the situation immediately - fantastic customer service. Clear communication about check-in - read carefully ahead of time.
We would stay again.
