PROS: We had a great time. We really, really loved the rooftop amenities and scenery/ambiance up there. The pool pass situation was a bit precarious. I ended up just showing the lifeguard my ID and that permitted us in. The apartment itself was really nice. It was nice to have the pots, pans, laundry, a pull-out couch and a nice sized walk in closet. The neighbors in the building are quite friendly and helpful.
CONS: One of the least desirable aspects of our stay was the bed. The headboard was very lose and the mattress was dipping in the middle. Every time we turned over it creaked. It was not a very great night’s sleep. It worked out fine though because it didn’t permit us to sleep in. We wanted to get up early to get our day going. Another negative aspect was the key fobs. You must keep up with them. If you misplace them you will have to pay a large fine. And you need the key fob for a lot of things: the elevator, the various doors, the rooftop.
TIP: Bring dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, and bring a comforter for the pull-out couch if you plan to use these things. If you’re using the garage parking make sure to press the pass button to open the garage.
All in all, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed our stay in Bethesda Gallery.
