  • The Libretto, Large and Convienent

    August 6, 2015
    This 1 bedroom apartment is large with a traditional layout; it has doors where they should be! There are distinct spaces for the bathroom, linen closet, coat closet, kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances, including a microwave and a dishwasher. There's a wall of windows in the dining area that provide good light and breezes throughout the space. The bedroom is this big: it has simultaneously held (with space to walk) a queen ...
    size bed, love seat, queen size air mattress, dresser two night stands and a file cabinet! It's less than a 10 min walk to either U Street or Columbia Heights metros and the 14th Street corridor, the new bloodline of DC. This puts the apartment very close to the action but just enough away from it on a nice street so this renter can't hear it or see it stumbling past. The lack of bells and whistles keep this apartment firmly average. There is no central air (two loud -ish window units) no in apt laundry (it's in the basement and kind of expensive $1.75 per load), no hardwood floors, no rooftop access and no doorman. However, under this shabby exterior is a rent controlled building (under $1740) with great water pressure (seriously!) and views of the U.S. Capitol and The Washington Monument right out your front door.
