The apartment is as fabulous as it looks in the photos. Everything is new. AC with Nest thermostat worked great--which is important in D.C. heat and humidity. Any apartment in D.C. is going to experience noise from the street but Griz's place (especially the bedroom) was pretty quiet. Two block walk to a large grocery store. Lots of really great little restaurants all around. One mile walk to the White House. Superior communication with Griz. His recommendations were spot on. Pretty sunflowers on the table were a nice touch!
