This was the perfect place to stay in DuPont Circle. Within minutes, I could be enjoying a delicious meal or hot coffee, or browsing titles at the amazing Kramerbooks, or hopping on the Metro to catch a ride to other parts of DC. The latter was the main reason I chose this place, because I was in town as a solo woman conducting business, and this allowed me to avoid renting a car - but knowing it was in one of those delightful older buildings common to this area made it stand out from other options. Speaking of being a solo traveler, this is also a safe area, day and night. While there are sometimes transient people near the Metro entrance, I had zero concerns for my safety, and spent a lot of time taking walks around the neighborhood while not working. As far as the charming accommodation itself, the Lola room was delightful. It is on the top floor, so if you’re a light sleeper, that’s an ideal location because since this is a historic property, the wonderful wood floors and stairs do creak a bit - which for me added to the charm and authenticity. The antique furniture and other finishes also remind you that you’re in a historic building, not some sterile, boring hotel room, and the room itself was huge. With a microwave, refrigerator, and kettle, I was also able to purchase some simple groceries and reduce the need to go out to eat (which helps save money, and might be important for those like me who are concerned about Covid-19). Finally, when I accidentally tripped a circuit breaker by running the microwave and kettle at the same time, a few texts and less than 15 minutes later, power was restored - so they are definitely on top of communication! Overall, a wonderful stay, and I will definitely check for vacancy here the next time I’m in town!
