If you're looking for a large space close to a metro stop, grocery store, and a short walk from bustling Chinatown, Adreinne's place is the perfect choice! My friend and I stayed in this apartment for about a month (November - December), and it worked out perfectly for two college-age girls.

Positives: We each had our own rooms with ample closet space and full/queen-sized beds that were quite comfortable. Everything we needed was provided for us: there were more than enough towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, etc, and the kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and cookware. There were even leftover spices that previous guests had left behind, which was nice because it meant we didn't need to buy those. Free cable and wifi was also included, which was great. The washer/dryer works really well and is located on the same floor as the apartment, so you don't need to haul your laundry up or down stairs.

The location was probably the best part of this property; we both had internships to commute to everyday, but we were only about a block and a half from the Mt. Vernon Metro, so it was really convenient. Even better, a Giant grocery store is only a half block away. There are also a number of cool restaurants/bars in the area, and Chinatown is only about a 15 minute walk down 7th street.

Negatives: Honestly, I can't really say anything negative about the space besides the fact that the layout is a little strange: you need to walk up three steps to get into both the bathroom and the larger bedroom, and the cabinets in the kitchen are kind of tall in some places. Given the steps inside the apartment itself and that it's on the second floor, it's definitely not wheelchair accessible. In addition, at one point the apartment got extremely cold. It turned out the vents weren't open, so the heat was not being let it. Once we opened them (you'll need somebody tall to reach, though, because they're on the ceiling), however, it warmed up really quickly. The back/smaller room also tends to get a little colder, but there was a space heater provided that worked quite well. My friend had the front/larger room, and she did say it could sometimes be a little loud outside on the street, especially on weekend nights when people are coming back from a night out. Obviously though, there's nothing that you can really do about that.

Overall a fantastic experience: the People's Place is a property I would definitely recommend to multiple friends for it's location, cleanliness, and amenities. It's a great deal for the price you could be paying in other areas of the city.
