We were happy to spend our Christmas in the apartment because we were near a family member and the winter storm was raging. The apartment was within a block of Metro and Whole Foods which was great for my elderly father. The heat source had changed in the apartment and had to call for update- there are window units that cycle on and off all day - heat is fine if a little noisy. 2 (then 3) adjacent apartment buildings (there are 5 identical buildings- Mac Properties) lost their power completely for days and we watched residents try to weather it. That hit the news. The apartment itself could use a spatula (used a plastic spoon to cook) and more cutlery; we had brought along extras so were fine.
