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.

Great location

This listing was great for us as it was close to so many restaurants. Walking distance to the Metro and bus stops. We left our car parked in the same spot all week as we walked or used the easily accessible public transit. The home itself was very organized and detailed instructions left by the host with every question we could have had.

Quite nights in the city

Favorite things - the host's quick response to inquiries, location to bus line and restaurants, and free parking. Nice size for a couple and a comfortable bed, too.It is a basement apartment with little natural light and a little damp. It was clean, but would benefit from a deeper clean.I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Perfect for our family of 4!

Frank’s basement house was perfect for our family of 4. The kids slept on the pullout couch and we were also able to cook meals at night. The location was perfect to take a quick uber to all the sites in DC. Frank was also great at communicating. Would definitely recommend!

A great place to stay in DC!

Our family of four (my spouse and our two daughters, ages 13 and 9) stayed in Frank's basement apartment in June 2025 and we had an absolutely delightful time. Check in was very easy, the apartment was very well-stocked (thankfully, he even had umbrellas! We had forgotten to bring ours and they definitely came in handy!), and the location was excellent! We found it very easy to get around from where we were whether by walking, biking (there are so many great bike lanes!), or metro. There was a Trader Joe's just a few blocks away along with a number of restaurants, cafes, and shops. We felt very safe in this neighborhood and took frequent evening strolls around. I would highly recommend this space to friends visiting the city!

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!

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.

Genuinely perfect!

Our stay with Frank was perfect! Frank was extremely communicative and helpful. Our stay was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was really walkable and easy to get to public transportation. The kitchen was pretty well outfitted and you’re just a short walk to Trader Joe’s and some wonderful restaurants! We had a perfect stay and I will definitely be staying with Frank again if we make our way back to DC.
