About this property

Charming English basement apartment in historic Dupont Circle

Enjoy this charming 1br/1ba (sleeps 2-4+) English Basement apartment with private entrance in a historic 1890 Townhouse within walking distance of Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and the U Street Corridor. This tastefully furnished apartment has one bedroom with a king size Tempurpedic bed, a queen size sleeper sofa, plus several inflatable beds of various sizes. It's the perfect location for a business trip or a visit to DC's many incredible sites. And I don't charge a cleaning fee! I’ve lived in the main house above the apartment for over 20 years, so I’m happy to answer questions about the area and offer suggestions for your stay.

The apartment is a stone's throw from dozens of restaurants (6 with Michelin stars!), shops, clubs and within easy walking distance of two Metro lines. There's no off-street parking for the unit, but free temporary residential parking can be arranged for visitors to take advantage of the plentiful street parking in the neighborhood.

Things I loved about this stay: it was affordable, easy to get in with a code, a lovely spacious basement unit with nice lighting despite being in the basement, instruments on the wall we could play, nice options in the cupboard, such as coffee, homey, tea, Nutella (!!), everything we could have wanted in the way of kitchen gear, convenience of a washer and dryer, and lots of other nice details that made our stay so much easier than staying in a hotel, not to mention cheaper, in a great neighborhood, close to fantastic restaurants. I highly recommend this place. Host was available and accommodating - when he found out we were getting into DC well before check in time, he let us drop our things off in his upstairs unit so we could go explore the city.
