Nice, cute little apartment in a very nice area! We could take the bus or the metro to the national mall, but we walked most of the time as it wasn't that far! Dupont Circle is a nice location! Everything you need is right there! we used the balcony quite a bit to enjoy the weather! Unfortunately, we were too busy and never got a chance to meet up with the owner but he was very responsive to our emails. We would recommend this apt. Its an old building so expect narrow stairways to the 3rd floor.
