Arlington Chic 2BR - Minutes to DC and Hotspots

Concierge -- Check-In at the concierge was really easy. Check-out - leave keys on kitchen counter. They were also super friendly : gave us a temporary parking permit (to park in the unmarked spots a little farther from the front entrance) to unload and load the car on the day of check-in and check-out. Apartment - the East facing 7th floor apartment was bathed in sunlight all day long -- It is fabulous and well equipped (post and pans, ... ) and also spices if you decide to cook gourmet meals. We brought our favorite coffee and tea. Location & Parking-- is excellent - within few min walk to Cystal City subway station. You will need a 2$ Smart Trip card to load trip fare. We did not use the parking ($39/night) since free parking is available on the side streets 8am-8pm weekdays and all day on weekends. The Whole Foods is only a short walk away. Mgt - There was some initial lag, but soon after, the Envitae mgt was extremely responsive to our general queries.

We understand ensuring security but asking for a selfie along with a photo of drivers license was surprising. We also did not expect to be screened - provide names and contact information of everyone staying, about professional presence, ... Heads-up - (a) the app to take the selfie is not user-friendly. (b) wish there was more than one kitchen towel. (c) bring an airplane sleep eye mask if you are not an early riser.
