About this property

Delightful Apt in the Heart of Dupont!

Summary:
Newly renovated and soundproofed one-bedroom/one-bath apartment located in the heart of Washington, D.C. Steps from the DuPont metro, walking distance to Georgetown as well as D.C. Monuments.

The Space:
Fully equipped and stocked kitchen including a nespresso machine. High-end finishings, comfortable, new bedding, and bathroom with walk-in shower. Sofa bed available in the living room. Tons of restaurants within walking distance and the best farmers market in the city open at DuPont each Sunday.

Guest Access:
The apartment is not shared with anyone else. Due to DC regulations, however, some owners must live in the building in order to qualify as a short term rental host. As with many apartment buildings in DC, the upper floors have full time occupants, and there are neighbors to your right. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.
Please be mindful of the fact that noise can travel and this is city living, we like to take care of our neighbors!

The Neighborhood:
Great restaurants, walking distance to all of the Washington DC sites, Sunday Dupont Farmer`s Market at the end of the street, two pharmacies within walking distance, grocery store also within walking distance. Very centrally located.
Close to metro (red line). Great local bars, restaurants and night life!

Guests will have access to everything the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood offers. The hub of activity in Dupont Circle often makes it feel like DC’s true city center. This trendsetting neighborhood boasts more long-term residents than summer interns, lending it a lived-in quality that’s uncommon in a city of new arrivals.  More restaurant choices than you would ever have time for and cute shops to browse and enjoy.

Getting Around:
We are a few hundred feet from the DuPont metro. The Airbnb is located right off Connecticut and Massachusetts Avenues. Public transportation is easy to access as is walking to various sites in the DC area.

We want you to make the most of your stay, so we've partnered with DC’s city tour company See DC Today to help ensure an amazing visit, at the best rate possible! Sit back and relax as the finest, most highly-trained and knowledgeable guides take you through the city, to soak up the surrounding history.

Great location, nice apartment, would probably return
We stayed here between Xmas and New Year's Eve – 4 people. Overall, it was a great experience but with a few downsides. Pros: The location is fantastic, in a well-to-do neighbourhood with elegant houses, and bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Just one minute's walk to DuPont Circle Metro station, giving rapid access to the Smithsonian museums. For art lovers, the Philips Collection art gallery is just steps away. The apartment itself was stylish, well-designed and comfortable, and well equipped with cooking utensils and a supply of coffee pods for the espresso machine. The management team responded rapidly and efficiently to try to solve issues as they arose. Cons: (1) Although the location is really quiet, we had noise from the person living above (they returned on the last day). In the living room and bedroom, we could hear each footfall, both human and dog. Possibly a carpet would solve this problem. Bring a good set of wax earplugs if you are at all a light sleeper. (2) The main bed was very comfortable but the sofa bed was uncomfortable, as the mattress was not properly supported, and we ended up putting the mattress on the floor. (3) The apartment is accessed from the alley; the alley is clean, but at night we saw rats several times. Rats appear to be common in Washington DC and their presence did not bother us. (4) The outer security gate had a malfunctioning lock, but the owner was apparently in the process of fixing this.

Q St NW Basement Unit
Unit was well supplied for our use, except the microwave wasn't replaced after discovery of charred wire. Noise from unit above was corrected. Location is very good, close to Metro, Phillips Gallery, shopping area.

Great stay in WDC
Traveled to WDC for work and needed a kitchen unit so opted for this basement apartment over a hotel. Wonderful location, very clean, well stocked with basic amenities. The bed was super comfortable, better than most hotels. Would return!

Very Nice
This basement apt is in a great location and was very quiet. The interior was comfortable and clean. They supply extra towels and sheets. I had trouble lighting the stove and they sent over a lighter that same day, so good communication. The kitchen has plenty of pots/pans/utensils but isn't stocked with any cooking supplies, so you'll need the basics, like cooking oil, condiments, etc. The shower had nice water pressure, heating worked well. Overall, very nice.

Pleasant stay in basement unit, great location
We found the hosts to be very responsive and kind. Unit was clean and stocked with basics. Location is pretty perfect, just a few blocks from the Dupont metro station. Lots of food options nearby. Cute decor. Simple kitchen with fridge, etc. It is relatively quite (no street noise), with the exception of occasional noise from upstairs guests or on trash day. Felt very safe, and this is generally a safe neighborhood. But the bedroom window is unprotected (no bars) and is facing the alley, that is maybe the one weakness. Otherwise all doors and windows are behind bars / locked areas. I would stay here again. Thanks!

First time in DC
The neighborhood was safe, there were plenty of restaurants to choose from around every corner, and getting Ubers was a breeze. The place is small, but it was perfect for our family of three. Finding the location was easy. We had the Uber driver drop us off on Q street in front of the house and we walked around the back ourselves - it avoided any confusion. We had a great time!
