This is a cute little apartment that's REALLY close to the Dupont Circle metro stop, as well as lots of cute restaurants and shops nearby. The neighborhood was really safe; I had no trouble/worries walking by myself late at night, and there are usually lots of people around walking dogs or strollers. I was here for work and chose it because it's a quick, easy walk to WeWork, but the centrality and safeness of the neighborhood make it a great home base for a tourist-focused stay as well! The metro is super easy to use, but if you don't mind a 20-30 minute walk, you can get the the White House and National Mall no problem as well!
For the apartment itself, Nicole was also a very responsive host through messaging, though I never met her in person, and self-checkin went off without a hitch. There isn't a kitchen on the property (which Nicole makes clear in the description), though there is a small microwave and mini fridge that work for leftovers. The fridge is pretty noisy though...I turned it off when I went to sleep. Also note that, because the location is so close to the metro and major streets, it can get a little noisy for light sleepers...specifically sirens. I guess both the VP and Jared and Ivanka go through Dupont Circle on their way to/from the White House, so I was woken up most mornings around 8am with police sirens, as well as other miscellaneous sirens and horns throughout the evening. Not constant, but noticeable as someone who usually lives in a quiet neighborhood. Finally, the house is old. It has a cute, vintage décor that I found charming, but it's true vintage, not modern-made-to-look vintage, so there's visible wear on the apartment. It was well-kept and clean, though! Overall, it's a good value for a great location and a private bathroom :)
