My wife and I loved the DuPont Escape. It's very spacious for two, with a separate bedroom and fully functional, small kitchen. The location is terrific: great restaurants close-by (even in the same block and across the street); Georgetown and Adams Morgan are each about a 20-minute walk; the Mall is a quick hop on the Metro, which you can catch 3 blocks from the apartment; and you're right in the heart of the Circle, steps from the "Embassy Row" and the Phillips Collection.

Actually, you can also walk all the way to the Mall (45 minutes or so), which we did once. But consider the bike share - $7/day and you can ride clunky but perfectly functional 3-speeds all around town. Just get thee to a docking station within 30 minutes to avoid additional charges. The capitol city's very bike-friendly.

The management team was exceptionally flexible in working with us to change our reservations to this apartment. I found them to be communicative, cooperative and willing to do what we needed to make the most of our first - but not last! - vacation to DC. Thanks, Kevin and Charlotte.
