The Statesman is an excellent place to live. There are tons of GW grad students, as well as a good mix of young professionals. The management and staff are really friendly and seem to genuinely care about doing a good job. The apartments themselves are spacious and look pretty nice. Because of all the students, it can get pretty loud depending on your neighbors but the walls are pretty thick and insulate noise well.

Because it's commercially managed, you rarely have troubles with the landlord .Work orders are submitted electronically and get resolved within 2 days sometimes hours. The rent fee does not exceed those of other alternatives. I cannot give a 10/10 for its burdensome rent, which is yet well vindicated by its location in DC and proximity to GW Law.

I live in this building because of it's excellent location, it is only 2 blocks from the law school. However, this convenience comes at a price, I regularly have to deal with rowdy undergrads who Make noise until 4am. The walls are paper thin so I hear everything. Also, whenever someone smokes in their apartment the smell leaks into mine. My studio is pretty spacious and my windows let in the sunlight. the maintenance people are great. I wish I could bring my car but garage parking is an additional 270 per month which is not doable on a student budget. there are plenty of washers and dryers in the basement ($1.95 per load) and a mini gym with a few weights and treadmills. There's no special amenities in the building that are worth noting.

I really like living at The Statesman. The apartments seems more spacious and nicer than surrounding buildings, and they have full size appliances. There is a 24 hour doorman, so you can pick up your packages 24/7 as well. There is a nice, but small gym, garage on site which you can pay extra for, and a roof top. The maintenance people are really awesome. They are very responsive whenever you need something fixed. The door people are also great. It's nice to see a friendly face that recognizes you when you walk in after a long day at work or school. The sales people are fine, they are sales people. Overall, it has been a great experience living here.
