The location and neighborhood…read more.. Convenient, half-way - only an eight-minute walk, either way - between Woodley Park and Cleveland Park Metro stops. Before moving to DC, I sold my car. DC's Metro system covers a lot of territory. Besides, most of what I'm drawn to is in the NW Quadrant, including a rich diversity of ethnic restaurants in our neighborhood. Cathedral Mansions frames a tree-lined, grassy courtyard, is across the street from the Smithsonian Zoo and right around the corner from an entrance to 2,000-acre Rock Creek Park. Looking out on so many trees, I often forget that I'm living in the thick of a major metropolitan city, much less our nation's capital. As a single, older woman whose teenage daughter visits by herself, this deserves its own paragraph: I have always felt safe walking alone in this neighborhood, any time of the day or night. The building... I like buildings with character, steeped in history. Constructed 1922-1925, in the Classical Revival style, Cathedral Mansions is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A few years ago management discovered that beneath the hallway carpets were the original black and white tile floors, now showcased. They're among my favorite details. My one-bedroom apartment is wall-to-wall wood floors (except the vinyl kitchen and bathroom floors), outlined by the original baseboards. The clincher was the formal entryway and generous walk-in closet (one of two closets). The walls are cinderblock, a challenge when hanging pictures; as they buffer the sounds of my neighbors, worth the trade-off. Here's the only reason I didn't give Cathedral Mansions five stars (wish I could give a 4.5): the heating/cooling system. Winter: Before I learned that Maintenance could turn off my radiator - well, almost (it can't be turned off completely) - the temperature in my apartment reached 84 degrees! (It's now 72, lower if I open windows.) At the same time, I'm told, tenants on the back side of the building are cool. Summer: the air-conditioner quickly dried out my wood furniture, plants, skin - until I bought a humidifier. While a bit of a hassle to lug home 1-gallon jugs of purified water, it's become my 2-3X/week routine. I use the humidifier in the winter, too. The people... Staff: Emily, in the office, is a gem. She was consistently responsive to my queries when I was scouting for an apartment and has been just as dedicated since I moved in. The maintenance crew responds to issues as they arise and keeps the building in tip-top shape. And the ever-smiling housekeeping crew keeps all of the communal areas sparkling clean. The fact that there has been, as far as I can tell, no turnover tells me the staff enjoys their work and a spirit of camaraderie. Other tenants: At least around my apartment, I can hear only muffled sounds/voices, occasionally. For the most part, folks keep to themselves while smiling and saying hello in passing. A bit of a reclusive, who values peace and quiet, this atmosphere suits me just fine. Bottom line... I feel lucky to have found Cathedral Mansions. Wasn't sure how I'd feel, living in an apartment after being a homeowner for four decades. But my cat and I quickly settled in and already feel at home.

It was not easy. I've been living here for about a week or so. It's been OK. Pros - the office staff are efficient and helpful -maintenance is attentive -lots of natural light in the apartment -building is pet friendly and doesn't do ridiculous things like charge pet rent -no hidden amenity or admin fees each month -nice neighborhood with easy metro access -folks are generally friendly Cons - shared laundry room. Residents let their clothes sit done in the machines way too long and do not remove them promptly so others can use the machines. I really miss having laundry in my unit. I find it stressful that doing the laundry is such an ordeal -I have a neighbor above me who blares music way too loud but as its during the day and usually stops by 10pm I cant complain about it -I also have a very cranky neighbor next door to me who yelled at me to "stop slamming the door!" on my first day living in the building - Well, um excuse me, but the movers are here and I'm moving in. And it was also in the middle of the afternoon. It was not a nice way to be greeted on my first day moving into the building. I do my best to avoid him. He seems to be the self appointed noise nazi of the floor. -The building is old and if you like new and state of the art, this building won't suit you. Management asked me to update / revise my original review and I told them I would. These are my honest impressions of the building thus far.

The building,…read morealthough lacking amenities like dishwashers and in-unit washer and dryers, is exceptionally clean and well-kept. While the building is managed by WC Smith, the owner regularly visits the property and seems to have a personal attachment to its long history. For me, the greatest benefit of living in 2800 is the sense of community. Neighbors are friendly, and the management team organizes a weekly Saturday Continental breakfast in the lobby, as well as annual holiday parties and cookouts. Residents regularly gather in the spacious lobby. The front desk staff members are the heart and soul of the building, and most have worked at 2800 for two decades. It's a wonderful place to live, providing a neighborly experience in an often transient city.

Location is amazing, minutes walk to Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan and Woodley Park, and even to Georgetown and Logan Circle. And super safe too, remember you are neighbor to Obama, so it is well-protected. Apartments are luxurious with inside unit washer/dryer. Street parking is abundant around the building as the area is note residential. Yes, the apartments are a bit on the smaller side, but the rents are really low for the area and increase only marginally from year to year. But above all, management is excellent! They respond to each maintenance request right away, and fix everything within a day, no questions asked! All told, living at 2000 Conn was an awesome experience that would recommend to everyone!

The front desk staff is friendly & do a great job with mail, packages & everything else. They are super accommodating with moving & elevators. The rooftop is wonderful and usually not crowded. I never hear my neighbors, and I walk right down the hall to the trash chute. We have a washer/dryer in unit and small dishwasher. The only downside is no central AC. The Cleveland House next door can be loud due to what seems to be never-ending construction & renovations, but that's out of the Delano's control. (And just get a room on the other side!) We are sad to leave, but so grateful we found this building and management. They've made the past few years really fun & special. You won't regret living here!

The apartment managers (Flor and Nancy) are super responsive, kind, and professional. They respond very quickly to any maintenance requests we submit and ensure that the repairpeople execute quickly. The other maintenance staff are very sweet and respectful as well. It's a nice perk that they serve breakfast (bagel sandwiches, pastries, fruit, coffee) every now and then. The only two downsides of the building are the thin doors (not soundproof at all) and the laundry machines-- they leave a lot of lint on my dark clothing that takes a while to rub off.

The elevator is relatively new and the neighbors here are friendly and vibrant. I'll be moving only to be in a larger space, but I've really enjoyed my time here and will miss the management here. Ignore the older reviews, ever since Bernstein Management took over a couple years ago they've done a very good job managing this property.

Within walking distance of nearly everything: lots of popular restaurants, many people's offices (including my own), hardware store, drug store, clothing stores, three grocery stores, etc. (Safeway and Whole Foods are both a 5-min walk away, Trader Joe's is a 15-min walk). The red line is very close (5 min walking) and the blue, orange, and silver lines are a 15-min walk, so you can easily take the Metro to Reagan Airport. - The management. Not only is Devin an excellent, understanding, and responsive manager, but every notice he posts in the elevators or mailroom is hilarious. He manages to make information about garbage disposals something people actually get a kick out of reading. Our friends who visit our apartment and see the notices think he's some kind of celebrity/comic genius. - The sound proofing. We can't hear anything from our neighbors. How is that possible?!? I thought noise complaints and hearing your neighbors play bad music at odd hours were inevitable annoyances of living in an apartment building, but Brunswick House has taught me otherwise. - The apartment itself. Plenty of space for a reasonable price (for the location). Dishwasher and disposal, good heating and AC, laundry in the basement. Very practical as long as you don't have kids and need a second bedroom. (I think the whole building is studios and one-bedroom units.) Don't get me wrong: it's not perfect. It's not glamorous like some of the newer buildings. And we've had a number of minor maintenance issues that have taken them a few tries to fix. But overall, we've very happy here.

The sound insulation is unbelievable. Our building manager is the driving force for keeping this place free of problems---despite his having a stroke, and being hospitalized for a while, he bounced back and is running the place as well ever.
