	Columbia Plaza Apartments 2400 Virginia Ave. Washington ,   Dc   20037 202-293-2000 Rating Recommend:     Yes Overall Rating:  4.0 Security:  4.0 Parking:  4.0 Appearance:  4.0 Management:  5.0 Maintenance:  5.0 Unit Condition:   5.0 Noise:  3.0		Review Title:   Good Option In Foggy Bottom Reviewer:   Anonymous   Review Date:  2/16/06      Rate This Apartment     I chose Columbia Plaza because I was working at the State Department across the street. I was a bit wary because I thought it would be full of noisy students, and I was pleasantly surprised--it is one of the quietest apartments I have had in terms of noise from the neighbors. (There was some traffic noise because my apartment fronted the freeway.) The apartments are beautifully maintained, and I found all of the office staff and maintenance people to be professional and responsive. Front desk staff left something to be desired, but I suppose that's true anywhere. There is a Safeway in the Watergate and a large drugstore (plus a few other small shops) in the Watergate complex a short block away, as well as a terrific buffet, liquor store and Chinese restaurant in Columbia Plaza itself. The metro is a bit of a hike, but not bad, and there's not much in the way of entertainment in the immediate vicinity (aside from the Kennedy Center). However, you can't beat the location if you work at the State Department. I had a studio, which was very large--about 500 square feet with a separate sleeping alcove. I would definitely go back to Columbia Plaza again.
