Great place to live and it is close to everything that you need
Aging mansion.
I don't believe this property deserves even one star.
After living overseas for many years, my husband was assigned to Washington, DC. During previous transitions, we were always able to stay at the Millennium, but this time we were offered the Acadia as our temporary home until we find permanent housing.
While we were in transit, my husband received an email stating that the apartment was not ready due to some "minor cosmetic issues" that would be addressed upon our arrival. We arrived on Friday, June 26, and as of today, Tuesday, June 30, many of those issues remain unresolved.
The two-bedroom apartment was much smaller than we expected, but the biggest disappointment was that it simply wasn't ready for occupancy.
The apartment was dirty throughout. The bathrooms had soap scum on the shower fixtures and sinks, mold on the tile grout, stained walls, and sticky fingerprints on the doors. The bathroom walls have water stains, and even the light switch plates are dirty. The water pressure in the main bathroom sink is extremely low.
The kitchen was no better. If we run the dishwasher, black sludge backs up into the kitchen sink. The cabinets and refrigerator were covered with greasy fingerprints and oil residue. The coffee maker was filthy, as though it hadn't been cleaned after the previous guest. The apartment is also stocked with very cheap kitchen utensils, including plastic cooking utensils and a plastic cutting board, which is disappointing for what is supposed to be a furnished executive apartment.
The bedding appears to have been washed, but the comforters are misshapen and worn. When we tried to do laundry, we found mold inside the washing machine's rubber seal, and the dryer took nearly an entire day just to dry a few towels.
The apartment also shows obvious signs of poor maintenance. It looks like numerous picture frames had been removed, leaving holes and mounting brackets behind on the walls. The window screens had been removed entirely and were simply hidden beside the kitchen cabinets instead of being properly reinstalled.
After living in many countries around the world, including places with far fewer resources, I have never been welcomed into accommodations in this condition. This apartment was not clean, not properly maintained, and certainly not ready for new occupants. It is unacceptable to advertise an apartment as move-in ready when it has so many cleanliness and maintenance issues. I cannot recommend staying here, the issued are not been address.
I’ve really enjoyed living here and would highly recommend this apartment community. The location is fantastic! It’s close to everything, including grocery, metro, restaurants, and other daily conveniences.
One of the best parts of living here is the staff, especially Joel at the front desk. He is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help residents. Whenever packages arrive, Joel is incredibly organized and often has them ready before I even ask. He consistently goes above and beyond to assist residents and creates a warm, positive atmosphere in the building.
The combination of a great location, excellent amenities, and outstanding staff makes this a wonderful place to call home. I’m very happy living here and would gladly recommend it to others.

Living here has truly been such a great experience. The building has an upscale hotel feel from the moment you walk in, yet it still feels warm and comfortable like home. The staff is one of the best parts — everyone is professional, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. I just love love Milad and Ayesha.
The convenience of the location and amenities makes everyday life so much easier, and the views are absolutely beautiful, especially at night. I also really appreciate how clean and well-maintained the property always is. Everything feels thoughtfully cared for.
One thing that surprised me most is how quiet and peaceful the building is. Despite being in such a convenient area, it feels calm and relaxing inside.
Overall, this has been one of the best living experiences I’ve had, and I would highly recommend this building to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a luxury-style atmosphere.
