Crystal City is an ideal, upscale, safe, and enjoyable location. You are located immediately across the bridge from DC, just a 3 minute drive to Arlington Cemetery. This building is situated at the south end of a lovely two block-long, beautifully sculptured park with a magnificent playground.
From the unit enjoy views of Pentagon City Mall, Costco, and a peek at the Pentagon. Whole Foods and Harris Teeters (grocer) are 2-5 blocks away. The Pentagon City Metro stop is just past the Costco, about 3 blocks around the corner, with an easy to find elevator for those with mobility issues.
The building is accessed with a key fob for added security. Both the owners and unit managers are easy to reach, prompt, courteous, and responsive.
As to the unit, you will be delightfully surprised to find it clean and fresh, well supplied and well stocked. No need to pack shampoo, shower soap, or laundry detergent. A high chair is tucked away in a closet.
The furnishings are new and comfortable. A king bed in one bedroom and two queens in the other, with a sofabed in the living room. Each bedroom has a bathroom and the two-bed bathroom has a stacked laundry.
If you can avoid using a car I recommend it. The garage is very (very) tight and intended for compact cars. If you forget to hang your parking tag they WILL tow you, as I unfortunately learned, but the unit manager helped me get that squared away. This property is a relaxing oasis in the metropolis.
