Decent place for what you pay

The Garfield House is a great value building if you're on a small budget, with studios and 1-bedrooms. They offer 6, 9, or 12 month leases, with month-to-month when the lease is up. The neighborhood is really nice, near the National Cathedral with many restaurants and stores within walking distance. My dog loved the park across the street and the trails in the nearby Glover Archbold Park. The 30s/30n/31/33 bus stop is right out the door, getting you to Tenleytown in 5 minutes or Foggy Bottom in 20 minutes, and the N2 line is a block away that gets you to Dupont Circle in 10 minutes. It's an easy 20-25 minute walk to campus. The rooms are pretty basic, but there is an outdoor pool and utilities are included. Parking is limited in the small lot, but there is easy Zone 3 parking surrounding the building and I've never had a problem finding a spot within 2 blocks. Maintenance workers are really responsive and the front desk workers are friendly. The worst thing is the traffic on Wisconsin; people honk their horns constantly at all hours.

Building is older, but my view is amazing and the value can't be beat. If you have a car, this location works for any working professional in the city. This is a very low key building, lacks many nice amenities but if you're willing to trade for good rent, it works.

Rent is low, views are the best city views I've ever seen. Really no amenities to speak of, but Celestine and Donna are friendly and responsive. If you're ok with a slightly dated building and manage expectations, this is a great deal for Washington D.C.

Very nice apartment although if you don't have a car, it can take a while to walk to the shops. Nice to have the pool in the summer and all staff is accomodating, but is sure not to bother the tenants too much. A work out room would be nice to have.

The location was nice and close to Georgetown and Dupont. Nice restaurants and close to a grocery store. However, rent was too expensive and was not worth the cost. The apartment is outdated and has nothing to offer. No gym, no dishwasher- not so great.

Some issues with roaches. Pool is nice. Parking is included for an additional fee each month.
