The unit did not live up to its description as a sunny first floor apartment in a quiet neighborhood. So it was a disappointment for us. Another type of tenant may enjoy it. We didn’t. This is actually a basement apartment in a classic DC row house. The neighborhood amenities are well described in the listing, and they may override the unit’s shortcomings for some other renters. Being in a dense urban environment, quiet is relative. So loud car mufflers and ambulance sirens are to be expected. Unfortunately being a basement unit of an older house, quiet is highly dependent on who lives above you. In our case, the owners rented the upstairs to a young family with two boisterous children. Even if there had been quiet neighbors, the HVAC system is in the basement, behind louvered doors right beside the sofa - noisy. The thermostat is located in the upstairs apartment, so this unit has no separate temp control. Some of the furniture and linens should be replaced as they are threadbare and beyond their useful life. That shocked us as the furniture and linens are something that could easily have been kept current and that would have made coping with the other shortcomings easier. The entry is in a gritty alley lined with city trash and recycling cans.
