Shenkman Hall — Local services in Washington

Lived here during the summer of 2018 for an internship with 3 other roommates. Pretty spacious living room and a decent open kitchen. The biggest perk is it's only like 2 or 3 blocks (like a 4 minute walk) from the Foggy Bottom station. Whole Foods is up 2-3 blocks right across from the metro, and trader joes is about a 10 minute walk away with Georgetown about a 15ish minute walk. A really great mix.

Giving two stars because at least the cleaning staff are very friendly, but the woman on the phone was very short with us. Would stay elsewhere if I was interning...
