If you like to take ice cold showers in the winter time........this place is for you. We did not have hot water for showers in the morning for the entire winter, and mangement would offer no concessions, or even an apology. The hallways smell like a dumpster the building doesn't look much better. The weight room sucks. There is nothing good about this apartment, other than its location (5 min walk to metro). Pay the $200 extra for surrounding buildings. It is well worth it. Also, stay away from Crystal Towers, Crystal Plaza and Crystal Houses. They are just as bad if not worse. In fact, run away from any apartment that is owned and managed by Charles E Smith. They are very inconsiderate and are fleecing their tenants. There are many other options in the area.
