The apartment is located in a central yet quiet residential area in the DuPont Circle neighborhood. The apartment is clean, equipped with a full kitchen and private patio as well as access to a washer and dryer though we only tried out the washer. Our stay included the first Friday of the month, Marcy, a considerate and great host, invited us to come to her apartment upstairs for a local jazz party/reception where we met some local residents and enjoyed some nice music and nibbles. We understand the event rotates among numerous venues. So we were lucky to have experienced it. The area is full of eateries and has several supermarkets as well. in sum, it's a home away from home.
