For the first week or two I moved here, I had the feeling like I was the only person in the building. I never heard a sound from one neighbor, and ocassionally would hear a muffled loud laugh from my other neighbor. That's it. You could hear hallway noise somewhat easily from the kitchen/living room, but that was hardly ever an issue since the hallway didn't get a ton of foot traffic. 2. Very prompt replies to maintenance requests. You call in the morning, it'll be fixed by that afternoon. The one time I had an emergency on a Sunday, they responded promptly too. 3. I saw one ant in my 11 months there. Nothing else. 4. Value. I paid $1795/month for a top floor, recently renovated apartment. Much better value (IMO) than any of those newly built apartments in Shaw, U St, etc. 5. management. Besides prompty taking care of maintenance issues, they don't BS you. Moving in and out was very straight forward. I had to get out of my lease 1 month early, and they were able to find a new renter, so I was saved from paying that 1 remaining month. One downside: you still can only pay rent via check. No online bill pay option. Overall, I'd recommend the Park Monroe. If keener managmeent runs all their buildings as well as the park monroe, then I also recommend them too.

Hello! I lived here from October 2019-October 2020. It was the worst living situation I've ever…read moreexperienced. I got a 7th floor studio apartment (400-ish sq ft) with one bathroom and kitchenette for $1575 a month. My parking space was $175 a month. So I was paying $1770 a month (*with a $55k salary*). Let me tell you how much of a joke this was. Let's start off easy, with the parking space. I did not get a full parking space, yet I was paying the full amount as everyone else in the garage. Due to an extra wall protruding, the corner parking space I had was impossible to turn into, park, and get out of. If I turn in too narrow, it blocks off space for the car next to me. If I turn in too wide, it's nearly impossible to get out of it without hitting the car parked behind me. The butt of my car always stood out because the parking space was a half. Why should that be $175? Now for the apartment. The carpet was an ugly beige, reminding me of like someone's parents' house basement. Any stain was impossible to get out. Aesthetically, not pleasing at all. I fell for the beautiful view initially, there is a wall of windows next to the bed. However, as the apartment is on a main street (16th St), it means NOISE. The constant humdrum buzz of cars whizzing by yes, but also Sirens of ambulance and police constantly, and late night roaring and yelling by homeless drunk people. There is no overheard lighting (except for a horrible florescent office-like light in the kitchenette) so I had to have two standing lamps (in opposing corners of the apartment, for more evened-out lighting), plus a bedside nightstand lamp, but were still not good enough really. The way the studio apartment is designed is horrible. You really can put the bed on either side of the room, but there is no room for a couch. I mean, technically there is, but you would risk blocking the front entrance. So I had to have an arm chair there but it looked pretty awkward given all the space. Then, here is the worst part. The kitchenette. What a joke excuse of a kitchen. I really hated it. So design-wise, it's ugly, all-white, non-remarkable and cheap looking. There is NO dishwasher. There is NO microwave. There is literally a tiny square gray sink, a small area of counter space, then the stove/oven. I would have to wash dishes pretty fast considering more than two meals meant that the sink would fill up. But there is no place to dry the dishes/post unless I used that small bit of counter space. But then I would need that small bit of counter space to cut my vegetables, or else I'd just turn around and use the f---ing kitchen table to cut my things. And THE STOVE/OVEN. So the stove fire didn't work when i turned it out, so I would have to use an extended lighter and turn on the stove the same time to get any fire. THERE IS NO VENTILATION. NONE!!!! THERE IS A HOOD ABOVE THE STOVE. Like a hood that looks like a ventilator, but it's like plastic looking and no actual utility use. It's a fake ventilator. Do you know what that means? It means that every time I cooked--EVEN IF IT WAS JUST BOILING WATER FOR PASTA--the fire alarm would set off. Every time. Not a couple times. Not every other time. Every time. Do you know how management responded to this? They appeared at my front door knocking, without advanced notice which was inappropriate. Then, they say they read my email about my fire alarm constantly going off, so here is their solution for me: a shoe cover. Yes, you read that right. A cloth, drawstring shoe-cover FOR F---ING SHOES (!!) to put over my fire alarm. And the best part? "Don't tell anyone about this please," the management pleaded. THE AUDACITY! No room for things like blenders or a coffee maker either since the counter space so small. You know what I had to do when making breakfast? I'd have to take my toaster out of the cupboard above the fridge that's annoying to reach. Make my toast. Then I would have to put the toast on a plate and onto the table. Then I'd have to use the remaining counter space, where I previously had my toaster, to cut things, etc. So much back and forth. Next, I'm going to go into their COVID management. When I got COVID in August, I notified them. And they DID NOT send a mass email warning everyone, or step up their disinfecting. It was like they wanted to hide it. In Hong Kong where my friend lives, one person got it and everyone was notified and they shut things down. Here it was like they downplayed. Anyway I hated living here, it was miserable, overpriced, management was awful and often petty. ALSO NO WASHER DRYER IN UNIT. You have to pay $$ for that and go all the way down to the basement. Once I put $30 on my laundry card and it took it, but then wouldn't work on the machines. I told management. What did they say? "IDK what to do, but why don't you call the owners of the laundry machines yourself and ask them how to get your money back?" THAT'S YOUR JOB. I pay you to do things like this. ugh.

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!

I absolutely love living in this building. I have a lot of good things to say!…read more The Apartments: I literally toured and analyzed about 15-20 different apartment complexes in the Logan Circle/14th street/U street/Shaw area. The Harper was our favorite in terms of price point, location, building features. The apartments are smaller and narrow (You're paying to live in this prime location) but they are designed to provide you max amount of storage space. Also a major thing I've noticed since living here - YOU CAN'T HEAR YOUR NEIGHBORS AT ALL. The apartments are sound proof which I've never experienced before. I don't hear any noise at all ,ever, from any neighbors unless they are in the hallway! It's amazing. Location: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Whether its bars, nightlife, food, exercise, this area is probably the best of all worlds combined. You have Trader Joes across the street for groceries and safeway/wholefoods within 15 minutes walk for other groceries. You have all the bars and nightlife within 1-2 blocks of you (Fainting Goat, Hawthorne, Lost Society, El Centro, Masa 14, Cloak and Dagger, Marvin, etc etc). You have the city's top rated restaurants within 15 minutes walk of you (Ghibellina, Le Diplomate, Barcelona, Duke's Grocery, Sakerum, etc) and some even literally next door (Compass Rose! The Smith! Lupo Verde! Tico!). You also have all the workout studios you could ever need including Soul Cycle, Orange Theory, Yoga etc. The Harper is also situated right on 14th street so while it is does get busy on weekends you're getting less of the drunken dirty U street traffic and more of the upscale cleanliness! Also, the windows are really thick and blocks out the noise unless you go stand up right next to them. I'm able to sleep even though I'm a light sleeper. The Building: The Harper is maintained as an upscale, very clean, and very new building! The rooftop offers great views, a nice but small gym, and two grills! Service: Jason is a really nice guy and applying/signing our lease was painless! The process was super easy and making rent payments and maintenance requests is done all online. It's all very efficient and easy. The best part - utilities are included, you get a small storage locker, and the front desk security guards are super nice and friendly for the most part. I highly recommend this building.

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!)

Cathedral Mansions is the best place I have ever lived. You have to work a little to find it, as…read moreit's not advertised on apartments.com or similar places -- we discovered it in the Post classifieds -- but it's well worth the hunt for many reasons. The price for a one-bedroom is pretty good for its location. I used to live in the infamous Berkshire Apartments by American University, which was fine when I was a student, but not anymore. But, we're paying less now, which is unbelievable considering what the building offers. And after checking out other buildings in the area, the rate definitely is competitive. The management is helpful and friendly. At first I was defensive, after working with uncooperative and DMV-like personalities in the past. But I've since let my guard down. They are quick to respond to maintenance requests and they always jump up to help you if you go into the office. Parking is very expensive, something like $170 a month I believe. But street parking isn't too tough to find most times in the year, and it's never bothered me enough to drop that kind of money on a space. Just walk out back into the neighborhood and there lots of spaces on the street. That means you transients will have to buckle down for a DC license and RPP. You'll only have to make a trek if you get back after 7:30 p.m. or so, or during the summer when lots of tourists are at the zoo. Even then, I've gotten lucky with spaces a number of times. The units are little rustic, with old doors and exposed radiators, and lots of them don't have dishwashers. But that gives it some originality that you don't get in a lot of other places. They also are compartmentalized, as there is a door to every room, but this could be handy if you have a roommate. Or bad cats. Overall, it's a cozy layout. The closet in our unit is gigantic. It's no joke. And window AC units are included, which is something you don't find in every old building. Then, there's the location. It's halfway between the desirable neighborhoods -- and Metro stations -- of Woodley Park and Cleveland Park. It's directly across from the National Zoo. That means a lot of tourists in the summer, but you can get up early and actually see animals, sans strollers. There is a row of shops in the building as well, including a new 7-11, a liquor store, drug store and Zoo Bar. Up the street in Cleveland Park, Yes!, Brookville, Magruder's and Vace have all the groceries you'll need. And there's a rad dentist in the building too, Connecticut Avenue Dental. It's easy to get frustrated with something you encounter every day -- a home, a colleague, a job -- but that hasn't happened here. It will be a sad day when I have to move.

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.

The staff at Ava is absolutely wonderful and have been so helpful to us on many occasions. Throughout the remodeling that they've been doing everybody has really gone above and beyond to make sure the residents are as comfortable as possible. Yeah, there is a lot of construction right now, and yeah, that can be a headache, but again, they've been extremely accommodating throughout. For example: 1) While they were replacing the balconies (they now look MUCH nicer than in the photos here), they discounted residents' rent significantly while they were without access to their balconies, and extended that deal if it took longer than expected to replace your balcony. AND after the balcony was finished they left us a bottle of wine and a thank you card! They also offered a quieter working space during construction for anybody who might need it. 2) Our air conditioner broke last year and it was a several day process to replace it, which sucked, BUT they sent us a cleaning service when the work was done to make sure they weren't leaving any sawdust behind. 3) While the gym was being remodeled (it's now MUCH MUCH better than a previous reviewer said, with all new equipment in an upgraded facility) they got guest passes to the gold's gym down the street that residents could use. I can't say enough about how great they've been through this whole process and the upgrades that they've made have really improved the building. We also have new washers and a dryers, a new Amazon Hub that makes package pick up so much easier, and are having new windows and patio doors installed which they say will help with heating and cooling and with noise reduction. On the noise, I'm surprised that people say the walls are thin. Our neighbors had a newborn baby and I honestly didn't know until a few months later when I saw the baby for the first time. They apologized for all the crying, but I never heard a peep.
