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, 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.

Perfect place for a small family exploring D.C.
Frank was very communicative, and the apartment was well stocked and prepared for short term guests. The location was great as well, we could walk 5 minutes and enjoy many restaurants and 40 minutes to the mall. We felt safe staying here, too. Thanks for the great apartment!

Kari Z., Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Great stay in Washington
Having never visited Washington before - wanted to stay somewhat close to the sites and action but in a neighborhood with a fun local vibe - this delivered on both of these. Close to the metro and lots of bus stops - was also easy to grab coffee or a late night drink. Frank was polite and prompt and the place was exactly as described. Would stay here again.

Great family apartment!
This was a great fit for our family. We parked out front and took Lyft everywhere - it was about the same cost as metro would have been for all of us. Great restaurants nearby and easier to access than the busy ones around national Mall. Having a kitchen saved money on food. I would definitely stay here again. Wonderful host!

Great little place - convenient to get around
I took my 3 teens/tweens to see the historic sights of DC and this apartment was a great home base. Easy walk to Metro and bus-stops. no concerns with the neighborhood - we parked the car right in front of the house and left it there with no concerns/problems. Easy to find food choices in the neighborhood as well

Great apartment t in a nice neighborhood
The apartment was in a great location, easy to get to the metro, shops and restaurants, but on a quiet street. Frank was a great host, and the apartment was set up nicely. I’ll definitely check to see if it’s available next time I visit DC.

Fabulous location
Frank's garden-level apartment is in a fabulous location. Beautiful neighborhood and near lots of great restaurants and bars. The apartment was clean and well stocked, but the shower/tub could stand for some sprucing up.
