Winston House Apartments

I have lived at the Winston House for the past three years and have enjoyed every moment of it. The apartment building itself is situated conveniently in the heart of Washington, DC, and provides a host of amenities, including 24-7 concierge service, an entertainment room, gym, sauna, library, and a spacious rooftop with incredible views. My unit provided ample amount of living space, including an enormous balcony and most importantly, an in-unit washer and dryer (which is hard to come by in DC).

Aside from the wonderful amenities, the greatest part of my experience in the Winston House has definitely been the staff, who truly made an effort to get to know each and every resident. I always felt welcome and safe each and every time I entered the building, and I appreciated their candor and helpfulness. The maintenance team and the assistant manager, Joe, have been extremely pleasant, considerate, and resourceful. If, and when, an issue ever arose, I could count on the team to have it resolved within 24 hours. On a number of occasions, the maintenance staff went out of their way (even staying late) to resolve my maintenance issues. I got to know each and every employee in the building and I cannot recommend enough how great and exceptional they have been, especially Deen.

The building manager, Michael, is extremely kind, responsive, and accommodating. Michael made every effort to keep the apartment building clean, welcoming, and quiet during the late nights, and even provided newsletters to inform us of updates happening in the building and in the general community. I never hesitated to reach out to Michael with any concerns and, without question, he happily and expeditiously resolved and took care of any issues. I knew the Winston House was where I would call home from the first day I moved in, when Michael greeted me and even offered to help with moving in. If I wasn’t leaving town, I certainly would’ve stayed in the Winston House, and I cannot recommend enough what a wonderful experience it has been.

I lived at the Winston House for 16 months with three separate leases. As my roommates and I were dealing with various issues, the building manager, Michael, and the rest of the staff were truly so helpful and accommodating even in the most difficult situations. The apartment building itself is lovely with 24-hour concierge service, a media room, gym, study room and rooftop lounge area with great views. It’s conveniently located to just about anything you’d need in NW DC and the Winston Staff is truly phenomenal. I’m sad to leave and will miss the people and the convenience of living at the Winston

We have lived at Winston House since 2015, and have really enjoyed our experience. It’s an amazing and convenient location, but most of all, the staff are wonderful. Michael Sun, the executive director, has been most helpful and kind since our first day, even helping us move to a different unit a few years into our lease to fit our needs better. The rest of the team, from maintenance staff to the 24/7 concierge are super friendly and responsive. We have and continue to enjoy living at the Winston House and highly recommend these units!

My significant other and I have been living at Winston House for over a year and have loved every minute of it. Michael and Joseph take great care of the building. Any time we have had an issue, someone is at our door within the day. The staff members are always so wonderful and pleasant and keep you updated with emails and newsletters so you're never wondering what's going on in the building and/or the community. The front desk is manned 24/7 which makes me feel safe and secure. The building is always clean and I especially love the decorations during the holiday season. I definitely feel like we get our money's worth. I would recommend this apartment building to my family & friends any day!

Winston house is a super convenient place to live, and the benefits of having a washer and dryer plus dishwasher in unit are enormous. It was the only place we found that wasn't super dated, had the space we wanted, was in the right location and wasn't excessively expensive. When there have been maintenance issues, the staff and building manager have all been very apologetic and worked to make it right asap.

I lived in the Winston House for a year. It was a fantastic experience. Michael Sun is the best property manager I’ve ever worked with and was so helpful on moving in, moving out, and in between. The staff managed all problems quickly and well.

My apartment was clean and updated. Items were always working or promptly fixed. It was cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I also thought my apartment was priced very affordable.

The apartment building was quiet, which was surprising given the proximity to GW—it speaks to the respectful community at the Winston House.

If I had to move back to DC again, the Winston House would be my first call.

I lived in the Winston House for one year in a two bedroom / two bath apartment on the third floor. Overall, I would say that my experience was good, but not amazing.

The apartment was nice but had some annoying issues. The washer/dryer were ancient. I had continual problems with my toilet not being flush with the floor. Multiple service requests to fix the issue and no permanent solution was made. My bedroom door also stuck when trying to open or close. It took three service requests to fix that issue. There were also some problems at move in. Our bathtubs had not been cleaned and whoever was painting the walls was clearly in a hurry. Granite counter tops, floors, and bathroom fixtures had paint all over.

As many have pointed out, the elevators seemed to constantly be under repair. At no point did I see all three elevators working. Michael was very nice to me, but I heard complaints from other tenants. I had no issues with paying rent or recovering my security deposit. The people at the front desk were always very nice and package delivery was very smooth.

Overall the Winston House is a nice apartment. I would say its middle of the road for price and you receive that level of experience. Its in a nice location with bars, restaurants, and close proximity to GW. A good choice for GW students looking to live off campus.
