Modern & Spacious 2BR Apartment at Crystal city

Apparently you can get the keys at anytime. Assuming you can get into the main apartment lobby. The apartment was big.

It was not easy. It only said to look for the KeyCafe location. It didn't say where that was. Here's the catch, you can't get into the area where the keys are in a lock box unless you have a key! We had to wait for someone to go in and sneak in after them. The apartment reception was able to tell us where to find the key boxes. The apartment smelled terrible. Especially near the master bath. We both air freshener. The apartment is old. Covered in multiple layers of paint to hid flaws. But the paint is so thick all of the doors stick. I had to fight to get out of the hall bathroom at least three different times because the door was so difficult to open. No ice to be had anywhere. there is a full size refrigerator and freezer but no ice trays. the water in Arlington is nasty so it is better to have it cold. But no ice. I left my neck pillow on the bed. I was told "the staff looked for it" and could not find it. I am 100% sure it was left there, but apparently they needed it more than me. For the smell and the hassle I was messaged that I would get 10% off. Turns out they gave a coupon for a FUTURE stay. Not going to happen. Oh, and I forgot to mention the spider webs. Lots of spider webs in the corners with lots of bugs trapped in them.

The location l selected was excellent for me and the apartment was nice and spacious. I will stay there again whenever l visit Arlington.

The corridor on the 10th Floor North was not very clean as should have been the case. There could have been a 2nd TV at the smaller Bedroom. In future increase the number of cooking pans and pots if possible.

The location was good for getting to and from the DC Metro. Obtaining the key went smoothly once 4:00 pm arrived. The apartment was quite nice. Beds were comfortable.

Additional cost for apts. Original price of about $390 for 2 nights but then at least a $80 per night add on. Final price went to $651.45 for 2 nights. Final pricing should be more transparent and clear prior to final reservation. Apartment furniture was not very comfortable. Patio furniture not very comfortable. Did not realize of see there would be a small drip coffee maker. Did not bring coffee nor filters. We tried to get approval for early access to apartment but despite calling the number provided and emailing and the host email there were no replies, so we had to wait till 4:00 pm to check in.

Nice and clean, decent size space

The items provided seemed cheap, the towels, the utensils, the blow dryer and the two plastic shower curtains.
