Overall good and very safe. But my unit gets very little sunlight and the dishwasher hardly works. Laundry machines are located on each floor but are expensive to operate ($2.30 to wash and $2.30 to dry) and delicate load does not clean clothes properly. Convenient trash chute on each floor.

I loved living at the Washington house and loved my unit there. I think I got lucky with the location of my unit in the building because I had big windows that looked out into the courtyard. Also I loved having access to the rooftop and on July 4th had one of the best spots in the city to watch the fireworks! The only negative about my experience was a staff member at the front desk, but the rest of the management team was great.

We've lived at Washington House for more than 2 years. Our corner unit overlooks Meridian Hill Park, plus we have a dog and love being in such a dog-friendly building. It's a big unit with great windows and amazing wood floors, plus rent-control means you can get great rates. Amazing roof deck and garden with bbq. Best units are renovated with updated kitchens - we also are lucky on top floor to have a fireplace. Management responds quickly to repair requests. Is an older building, gym area is really really small, and I wish laundry in-unit. But laundry and trash rooms on each floor are super convenient and we really love living here.

I'd say one of the major selling points for this building is it's convenient location. Just a few minutes walk from U street, it is conveniently close to bars and restaurants without the inconvenience of the drunk weekend crowd or other related hassle. The bus stop for the S1,S2, and S4 is right outside the building, and it's only a 6 minute walk to the U street station. Trader Joes, Safeway and Whole Foods are also located close by.
