The apartment location is excellent, walking distance to Georgetown university, M street, even DC landmarks when the weather cooperates. It is a basement apartment but noise wasn't much of an issue although I think the upstairs apt was vacant except for 1 day of construction. Samia was quite friendly and responsive in a very timely manner and even let us check out a bit late on check-out day since we had a late flight and there wasn't an arrival that day. The entry is via lock box which was ideal for us since we were arriving late at night.

However, the apartment is in dire need of a good cleaning. The bathroom floor had lots of hair on it, the furniture, walls and floors were dirty and stained and I had to wash many of the glasses before using them. We also experienced a serious security issue when, without notice, a construction worker from the apartment upstairs wanted entry into the apartment to get supplies and we found the door to the upstairs unit had been taped over to keep it unlocked and allow entry. Not ok! I hadn't thought to check every single door in the apartment to make sure it was locked but after that we did. Samia was kind and apologetic about the issue but we still felt the need to block the door with a chair to keep it secure when we had to leave.
We didn't do any cooking so I can't comment on the kitchen amenities though the counter space would make it a challenge. The kitchen is updated, the floors are updated, the bathroom somewhat updated and the back patio is cute with a table and chairs for coffee in the morning.

Looking back on the reviews, it seems we are the first people to stay in 2 years so maybe the apt is coming off a long term rental and wasn't quite ready for guests. A good cleaning and secure locks will make this place perfect.
Also, Booeymonger down the street has killer breakfast sandwiches. Enjoy!
