We were stuck in your situation and couldn't see the apartment before moving to DC. Camden Apartments (Navy Yards, outside Nationals Stadium) were the best at doing live tours with an actual representative carrying their cell phone to do a FaceTime tour.
That and a number of other variables that worked in our favor (i.e. best price for Sq footage), was the reason we felt confident in making a decision without live seeing the place.
Still a huge risk but I've been living here for 6 months and am satisfied and didn't feel I got tricked or deceived by anything.
