I've been an apartment dweller for most of my adult life, and of them all The Shawmut is by far the best building I've lived in. The apartments are spacious, with high ceilings , and the pre-war construction means they're quiet. Neighbors are actually neighborly -- the fact that we're pet-friendly makes a big difference -- with a diverse mix of residents. I esp appreciate the excellent staff and management (both the manager and the engineer), who are always helpful and professional, and who live in the building. Also, the location is great -- bus stop right outside, quick walk to Dupont metro, close to 18th street but not in the midst of it. Highly recommend!
