BEAUTIFUL SPACE
• Beautiful and super conveniently located apartment. Spacious enough for a family of 4. We came to spend the Fourth of July and had no problems finding parking and moving around the city from that location! Ubers range from $8-$22 to the National Mall so maybe you can gauge price wise. Right near the Nationals Park. Felt very safe in the neighborhood. Note: The apartment in the pictures is not the exact one we got. But very similar. So it will vary by apartment I guess but it was just something I noted.
The bathroom was beautifully clean! The kitchen was a great size to make meals in every day. The pullout bed easily accommodated two people. Roku was perfect. Would have been nice to maybe have a tv in the bedroom as well but no big deal! Kitchen came with small bottles of Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper. Has a couple pans, water kettle, coffee machine, toaster, and plenty of silverware and dinnerware.
Navy Yard means waking up everyday at 8 am to trumpets and the National Anthem playing outside the window! Felt very patriotic during the Fourth of July.
One con for me - DOG DANDER
If you are allergic to dogs, even ever so slightly, I wouldn’t suggest this space. My mother and I both are allergic to dogs. As soon as we walked in the room, it smelled like a dog. We saw dog hair on the couch and the bed sheets. The shower smelled like it too. I thought pets weren’t allowed in the building so either the last guest brought their dog without telling the cleaning crew OR it’s because of the million dog facilities surrounding the property. There’s a dog park, dog grooming, dog boarding, dog everything surrounding the building so maybe that’s what contributed to the smell. I was sneezing and itching the first two days but I guess my body got used to it after the third.
Because of this, I had asked for extra clean sheets to change the bed, along with extra towels (we had a party of 4 but only had 2 bath towels in the room). We had arrived very late at night and didn’t expect to get the towels til morning, but the staff was able to bring me fresh new linens and towels right then and there and we were so grateful !!!
I would 10000000% come back. Even with the dog allergy issues, it was a wonderful experience!! Highly recommended, especially if you aren’t bothered by dogs as much as I unfortunately am lol
