Thoughts on fire escape balconies? Part of me finds them romantic and remind me of NYC. The other part of me finds them cramped and terrifying. Standing on the grate and looking down can make my knees weak. Check out this tiny Dupont studio with a fire escape balcony. If you need something with more space, check on this rare deal in Logan Circle. Three bedrooms for under $3500? Sign me up. The downside? Only one bathroom. Last but not least, if you and a roomie are looking for a classic Georgetown apartment on the cheap, go see this place.
