Stayed here for Something in the Water 2022. We live in the suburbs 20 miles away, but my wife and I both work in DC and, before kids, lived in DC. We decided to stay in the city for ease of transportation to and from the festival.
Received check in info a few days prior. Check in day went fine, received package from concierge and up to the apartment I went. Inside, everything looked great, very nice large balcony. Checked to make sure water worked, fridge was cold, etc and went out to check out the balcony. The door was slightly ajar, so i thought someone just forgot to close it all the way.
No, the door did not open. It did not close all the way either. Which really sucked because a balcony, or yard is absolutely a requirement for me, and was a reason for picking this space. Told the concierge and they told me to come back in the morning. I also replied one of the emails from Global Luxury asking me how the space was, with the complaint of the broken door. Long story short, it didn't get fixed. Which sucked because we had a few bugs get into the apartment through the crack, and also because of the noise from long term construction across the street and EMS station a few blocks away. Since we weren't in the apartment during the day, the noise wasn't a huge issue, but something to be aware of.
We also decided to extend an additional day, called on a sunday and they told me call back @ 9am to rebook an additional day. Did that, they added thee additional day, and eventually emailed me an online link to cover the additional day.
Overall, the stay was good. If the balcony was accessible, it would have been great. The apartment was centrally located, 2 blocks from the redline metro, and close enough to food/banks/stores that a car isn't necessary. About driving in, either park your car in a nearby garage, or make sure nothing that looks remotely valuable is visible. While we ere there, there 4 separate instances of car windows getting smashed out; i think 6 cars in total were hit. Local resident said it's organized ring, it happens all the time, and cops aren't doing anything about it.
