Photos and Description of the Dupont Circle vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

Enjoy this charming 1br/1ba (sleeps 2-4+) English Basement apartment with private entrance in a historic 1890s Townhouse within walking distance of Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and the U Street Corridor. This tastefully furnished apartment has one bedroom with a queen size bed, a queen size sleeper sofa, plus several inflatable beds of various sizes. It's a perfect location for a business trip or a visit to DC's many incredible sites.

The apartment is a stone's throw from dozens of restaurants, shops, clubs and within easy walking distance of two Metro lines. There's no off-street parking for the unit, but temporary residential parking can be arranged for visitors to take advantage of the plentiful street parking in the neighborhood. You'll also be close to short-term bicycle rentals through DC's great new service, Capital Bikeshare.

About The Owner

I'm a classical musician who's lived in Washington DC for more than 12 years. It's a great city in so many ways, I'm glad I can share my basement apartment with visitors from around the world. I live in the main house above the apartment, so I'm easily available to assist guests with their visits in the national's capital.

The Owner purchased this apartment in 2002
Why The Owner chose Dupont Circle

I love my neighborhood with its historical townhouses and apartment buildings, restaurants, shops and nearby public transportation. Though in the heart of Washington, the apartment is in a residential neighborhood populated with a wide variety of residents, including young Congressional and White House staffers, young families, couples and singles from all over the world. (Few people in DC are actually from DC!) One of the coolest things about where I live is the giant Masonic House of the Temple, located right across the street from the apartment. The building was designed by John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial and the National Archives, and it's one of the most impressive buildings in Washington. It serves as the Southern Headquarters for the 33rd degree of Scottish Rite Masonry, and a tour of the building is fascinating and entertaining. If you're a Scott Brown fan, the building plays a pivotal part in his novel, 'The Lost Symbol.'

Simply perfect!

Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I took our two young boys to D.C. for the weekend to participate in the White House Egg Roll. I have always had great experiences with VRBO and given the glowing reviews, we thought this rental would be a good fit. It exceeded our expectations. Frank was very prompt and attentive to emails. The home is in a lovely area, was perfectly clean and was well-stocked with all sorts of niceties. It was very easy to get around by foot & public transportation.

To top it off, we left behind a couple items which Frank immediately returned along with our deposit. Hope to stay again soon and spend more time exploring this lovely area.

Highly recommend!

Super DC Apartment near Dupont Circle

Submitted: March 22, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
A sweet one-bedroom apartment that's a short walk to several fun areas with terrific restaurants and other amenities, including Metro stops. The apartment is well appointed, and the owner was responsive and very good to work with. It's garden level, but it gets good light through the living room windows. We recommend this place and would return.

Owner's Response: Jack and Brian were great guests who were exceptionally understanding when some unforeseen difficulties with the apartment arose during their stay. I'm very grateful for their patience!

Exactly what we needed!

My boyfriend and I stayed at this property the weekend after Valentine's Day. Frank was very gracious when we needed to change our dates at the last minute and made sure that everything was ready for us a day before we had planned to arrive. We arrived in DC very late at night and had no trouble finding the apartment or getting in. The place was very clean and well-maintained. The apartment was quite spacious - perfect for the two of us, but could easily have slept many more comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed: coffee, dish ware, even creamer, condiments, and a few little snacks! The bathroom had plenty of clean towels and necessary toiletries. It was great to have laundry available on-site and the bedroom was quite large with a very comfortable bed.

The neighborhood was very cute, quiet, and perfectly located with great restaurants and a Whole Foods nearby. The walk to the museums and monuments was fine, even in the blistering cold. And if we didn't want to walk, there were plenty of buses and the metro close by.

Overall, we had a wonderful time! It was great to have a place all to ourselves, but also reassuring that if we needed anything, Frank was just a phone call away. We would definitely stay here on our next visit!

Great place for Inauguration

Stayed here for a week over the Presidential Inuaguration. Very clean and comfortable, great location, walking distance to pretty much everything. If you don't llike walking you can hop on the Metro Train at U St which is right around the corner. It was nice having a washer and dryer too, especially in the winter when half my suitcase was filled with a big jacket and cold weather clothes. Bonus: we bought some tickets to a Caps game on Stubhub, and Frank (the owner upstairs) printed them out for us and taped them to the front door. I would recommend this apartment to anyone I know.
