I had a 1BR on the 5th floor. Apartment was well laid out with a large bedroom. Lots of windows and good heating/water. Some of the faster elevators you'll see for an older building. The management was incredibly professional--great response times and the staff made sure to meet your needs. It does get a little loud with ambulances going past 16th St and Florida, but the walls between the apartments are thick and I never had issues with neighbors. Would recommend living here.

Great building and friendly staff
Would absolutely recommend this property! The Washington House is in a great location, walking distance to Dupont Circle (red line) and U St (green line) metro stops, multiple grocery stores, Adams Morgan, and 14th St. Beautiful view from the rooftop. Up-to-date appliances in the units and a laundry room on every floor. All of the staff are very friendly, and the front desk is staffed 7 days a week. Building is kept extremely clean (didn't see a pest once the entire time I lived there), and... maintenance is responsive to requests. The only cons I can think of are that there are no real amenities (other than a very small in gym the basement with dated equipment), and that moving in/out was a hassle, as residents are required move furniture into/out of the building through a narrow staircase out back on Florida Ave, rather than through the front door.

Amazing living experience, cannot recommend it enough
Immediately fell in love with the heartwarming experience, from the apartments and the picturesque location to the welcoming people who keep the place up and running. These are some of the perks of living at The Washington House: - breathtaking rooftop view - nice architecture - well-kept apartments - a ton of commodities (dishwasher, bath tub, washing machines, dryers, and even a gym) - vibrant neighborhood - accessibility to relevant places (park, metro and supermarkets) - near 14th street... food corridor in case you want to eat out - near Adams Morgan in case you want a fun night out - within a walking distance of the White House - staff is SUPER nice

Building and Location are Very Good, Management is Great
-The building is kept very clean and well-maintained.
-Of all the interactions I have had with the staff, almost every single one has been positive. Similarly, the management is scrupulously fair and even a little bit generous. This is a HUGE difference from other landlords that I have dealt with in DC and makes everyday life much more pleasant.
-Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park is a wonderful green space with a great history.
-You are within 5 minutes walking of Adams Morgan and U St, 10... minutes of Dupont and Columbia Heights, 15 minutes of Shaw and Mt. Pleasant. Harris Teeter is a little less than a 10 minute walk a way and Trader Joe's just a little more than 10 minutes. Hana Market is less than 5. Tons of amenities close by as well.
If you work downtown, there is an S1/S2/S4 bus stop literally right in front of the apartment and an S9 stop 2 minutes away. Unlike certain other streets in DC that are basically parking lots during rush hour, traffic does move on 16th St, so these are great commute options.
A couple of issues
-The apartment is located at a busy intersection and close to a police/fire station, so there is a lot of noise. -Many of the floor plans are fairly small compared to what you can get nearby(e.g. 1BRs of around 600 sq ft). -The fixtures in the apartments are somewhat on the cheaper side, but fortunately maintenance is extremely responsive whenever you have an issue.
I would also note that the management owns two other buildings (Hightowers and Park Square), which have different attributes that might fit what you are looking for better. I looked at units in those buildings and highly recommend those as well!
If you want to be in Dupont and/or live super, super close to a grocery store, Hightowers has Safeway and Whole Foods both less than 5 minutes away.
Park Square is on a significantly quieter street and Park Square has notably larger floor plans available.

Great Place to Live!
I lived in Washington House for over a year and it was such a pleasurable experience. Not only is the location SO GOOD, but the staff is so helpful and friendly. Whether it's printing requests or maintenance requests they will do it for you. And maintenance comes SO fast! I've never had any issues living here and honestly I am sad to leave.
