    I have really enjoyed living at the Diplomat! From the start, Daisha has been an amazing asset to the team and Arthur has always been helpful. The gym access, roof access, and location are all top-notch and can't be beaten. The noise level is perfect - as in there is rarely any issue. The only thing I would say could be made better is parking (having an exit and an entrance would be ideal!) Having parking as an option though has been wonderful.

    This is a fantastic building to live in. There's responsive staff to any issue I have, and the location is perfect.

    I moved in over the summer and I'm from out of the area. This apartment building has friendly staff and responsive maintenance. My only complaint is that for how expensive the apartments are, the equipment is outdated (Gas stove, older fridges, etc). But an overall great place if you're looking for an apartment in a more residential area.

    4.5/5 Ellen K. on Apr 1, 2024

    I’ve lived here for about 2 years and have enjoyed my time here. Maintenance is always responsive, respectful & the leasing office is staffed with wonderful people who care about their residents. My only complaint is that the building itself is falling apart. Pipes bursting in the laundry room, 1/2 elevators always being out of order, paint peeling constantly in my apartment. There needs to be some real infrastructure repair done otherwise the building isnt the safest place to be.

    Our apartment has been a great place to live. The building is well-maintained, and maintenance requests are fulfilled isually within 24 hours. Even though it is an old building, we haven’t had any issues with pests. The management company is communicative and professional, and they are a big reason why it’s been so pleasant to live here.

    5/5 Anonymous on May 14, 2023

    I have lived in this studio for two years now, and it's been a great value for the location and service (including maintenance) for around $1750 per month (utilities included). The location is my favorite part. You can easily walk to busy streets such as 18th St in Adam's Morgan and down Connecticut Ave to DuPont Circle, but you can also walk around the quieter neighborhood streets in Kalorama. at Even though the apartment is on Conn Ave, it does not get too loud at night or in the day (aside from the occasional motorcade). The rooftop is also a nice plus and it gets good views. In terms of the space itself, it is wide and open and gets pretty good sunlight (facing Conn Ave). For a studio, the kitchen is quite small and can be difficult to store pots/pans or do much counter work, but one can easily make do. The bathroom is also somewhat small, but still cozy enough. The actual living space is great and clean, the wooden floors are pretty and the walls between apartments seem pretty thick, but closer to the door, you can hear people in the hallways, but it rarely gets rowdy. Maintenance and staff are amazing. If you submit a request, you will likely get it addressed the same or next available day. They have helped with A/C filters, sink clogs, paint peeling and whole bathroom refurnishing.

    3.5/5 AJ on Nov 9, 2023

    I should be surprised that about a dozen of DC’s top landlord companies are suspected of colluding with a software company in order to inorganically force their residents into an 8% rent increase despite it supposedly being a rent controlled region. But I have developed a tougher, calloused-over heart in recent years and for that, I have DC to thank.

    4/5 Anonymous on May 30, 2023

    I've lived in the Belvedere since March and it has honestly been one of the best apartment experiences I've had in DC. The staff is super responsive and friendly, and every time I've had any maintenance issues they've been taken care of very quickly. You cannot beat the location. There's not garage but street parking is pretty easy in the area if you have a residential parking permit.

    Great location right off 18th st. The maintenance team is very responsive and I've never had a problem with my apartment. The building itself is older and the amenities are not great (small "gym" with a couple machines and rooftop grill). My apartment doesn't seem like its been renovated or updated anytime recently. However, the price is good and utilities are included so I've stuck around for a few years.
