We were very pleased by our 6-night stay at Dupont Escape. The location was outstanding (short walk to Metro, lots of restaurants). The apartment was clean and well-appointed, bed comfortable. Phone calls, which were promptly returned, helped us get in via the lock box system and figure out a few other things. The documents describing the area & resources (like grocery stores) were invaluable, though they need a bit of updating. Because the apartment is at the back of the building, it was reasonably quiet, which we appreciated. Two more phone class quickly clarified the laundry location & a couple of other confusions we had.

The only challenge was that the keypad door lock system stopped working after a couple of days. That meant we had to leave the apartment door unlocked when we went out. Not a terribly worrisome problem for us as the building was locked & we took all valuables with us, but some response to our multiple phone calls would have been appreciated (though we did say, on our first or second call, that we didn't need a phone response -- just have the lock fixed). We were mostly concerned that if stuff in apartment were taken, we might be held liable. We left a note & described the problem when the maid arrived on our last day, as we thought she should know the situation. Presumably the problem has been fixed by now.

Overall -- we'd stay at the Dupont Escape again if we return to DC for a visit. Having the whole apartment was a real boon. Even the keypad lock problem was minor from our perspective.
