Does $1,395 sound right for a 512 sq feet 1 bed/1 bath rental?

This rental is located at Kilbourne Pl NW at 17th St NW. While I normally don’t like to post options without pictures I think this one might be a really good deal. The Craigslist ad says:

“Newly-renovated 2-bedroom English-basement apartment is in a quiet, non-smoking townhouse 6 blocks from Metro.
Washer/dryer, A/C, wall-to-wall carpeting.
Monthly rent of $1650 includes heat, water, and cooking gas. Tenant pays electricity.
1-year lease; security deposit of $1650.”

$1650 sound right for this 2 bedroom English-basement apartment?

In lieu of a photo of the unit please accept this photo from a Mt. P resident:

“Here’s one of the first crocuses of spring, just a wee touch of very welcome color, in Mount Pleasant.”

This rental is located at 8105 Greenwood Ave., Takoma Park, MD:

The Craigslist ad says:

“I have 5 more months on my lease. This unfurnished, quiet and private apartment is 3 miles from the District in eclectic, animal friendly, enviro conscious, Takoma Park. Small town feel, but easily DC accessible. Close to Buses/Metro, farmer’s market and cool places to eat.

This one bedroom apartment is surprisingly spacious and great for animal owners as the windows do not face the street. No worrying about your dog barking in the windows all day here! Hardwood floors through out. Cute bathroom with BIG bath tub. Laundry in basement, landlord pays heat and keeps the building in very nice condition. Tenant pays electric and gas for cooking. AC unit in bedroom keeps things cool in Summer. Plenty of street parking,

If you have animals, you know how hard it is to find an apartment that will allow them. Nominal animal fees apply ($25 per cat and $50per dog) for quiet, non destructive pets. I have lived here comfortably with BIG dogs and a cat.

Pics show kitchen, living room , bathroom and bedroom (sorry about the unmade bed!)”

I don’t think we’ve ever discussed a Takoma Park rental before (but I know there are fans) – $1095 sound right for this 1 bedroom?
