Top Location - Dupont Circle Luxury - Walk to the White House
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Dupont Circle
Situated in the heart of the city is the tony neighborhood of DuPont Circle. Located in a section of Washington called "Old City", DuPont Circle is a traffic circle, neighborhood, and historic district. A number of historic homes can be found throughout the area, including the post-presidential residence of Woodrow Wilson. DuPont Circle is a known destination for fine dining and entertainment.
This cosmopolitan neighborhood includes an eclectic collection of shops and trendy restaurants that draw visitors young and old. Originally populated by Washington's old money and nouveau riche, DuPont Circle is now home to artists, intellectuals, and young professionals. Turn-of-the-century mansions and brownstones—once home to some the city's most prominent families—now house some of the nation's finest art museums, hippest restaurants, quirky shops, and foreign embassies. It is also home to the Phillips Collection, one of the city's foremost art museums featuring paintings by Renoir, Degas, Cezanne, Picasso, and others.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The proximity to the National Mall, White House and all of downtown is just unmatched in this apartment. On the weekend, DuPont Circle has one of the largest organic farmers' markets in the city. This neighborhood is accessible by foot or cab and is on Metro's Red line. WalkScore rates our unit and the surrounding neighborhood a walkability rating of 98 out of 100 - so as perfect as one can get.
The Phillips Collection is an art museum founded by Duncan Phillips in 1921 as the Phillips Memorial Gallery located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Phillips was the grandson of

We are family owned and operated. From the left meet Kate and Jarek (sister and brother) and our mom Dana.
We have lived in Washington for over ten years and love this cosmopolitan city where people get up every morning and get to work on changing the world. The most powerful people in DC can alter the course of history and try to make the world a better place. It's a city where philosophical debate and advocacy of issues beyond one's own family or pocketbook rule the day; a city where what's going on in one's head is far more important than what one is wearing; a city where people come from all over the world to experience democracy and learn the principles of our free society.
We get visitors from all over the country and the world. Some come for one time visit with their family, others keep coming back number of times a year as we host many repeat guests related to the federal government, foreign embassies and the US State Department. We take great pride in having our unit very clean (our mom cleans it, so you know it’s spotless), conveniently located within walking distance to all shopping, restaurants and Metro.
We want you to enjoy your visit whether it is once in a lifetime trip with your family or monthly visit for work. We are looking forward to hosting you in DC and if there is something we can help with, let us know.
Kate, Dana, Jarek

We enjoyed our stay at this townhouse very much. The unit was very clean and everything was in great shape. It is located close to two metro stops, several nice resturants, and a Safeway grocery store. We felt very safe walking around at any time of the day or night. The decorating of the townhouse is very stylish. The kitchen is well stocked and the appliances are top notch. Getting to the National Mall is very convient either by Metro or cab.

Great family reunion spot for the holidays!!

We had a wonderful time on Swann St. for Thanksgiving week, visiting our DC college student daughter and seeing the sights. The apt. was just lovely, decorated so sleek and sophisticated. The lovely high ceilings and color coordinated walls,furniture,linens and art work made us feel like we were in a classy resort. We cooked turkey dinner in the kitchen and had guests over, and we had everything we needed as the kitchen is well equipped. We used the kitchen to save money on breakfasts and happy hours, as food in DC is pricey. The beds were very comfy(and I'm very picky about beds) and there was a ton of left-behind travel guides and maps etc. for our use. The bathrooms were very modern with great shower heads. The neighborhood was so charming... colorful row houses,churches and a few blocks from many different restaurants. I felt very safe walking in the area and to both close by metro stations. We also were able to hail taxis at all different times on 16th St. when we had tired feet. This rental was everything we had hoped for and we will return!

My husband and I made our first trip to Washington DC in October. Choosing the Swann Street condo in the Dupont Circle area was a great decision. The location was perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and city bus line, yet a very quiet, clean and comfortable place to enjoy after our long day of site seeing. The furnishings were all top notch with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and even a patio. The owners were very responsive to all of our inquiries. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back again soon and would certainly stay at the Swann Street condo again.

My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the condo! It was clean, comfortable and centrally located to the metro - though we walked to most of the area's major attractions. Great restaurants were nearby, but the nearby Whole Foods and modern kitchen let us save $ cooking in several nights. The owners were very accomodating to our travel needs. We felt like we were coming to a home each night rater than a rental. I would highly recommend thie property.
Recommended for:Families with young children.
Wonderful experience!

My children and I rented this condo for a week for our vacation to Washington DC. Jarek and Kate were fabulous to work with! I have to say, I was a bit skeptical - never having tried this type of approach for lodging before, but Jarek and Kate proved to me that this is exactly what they say it is! The condo we beautiful and felt homey the moment you walk in the door. Everything you could need was available. They provided tons of brochures and materials to help assist with where to go and what to do in DC. The grocery store was only a few blocks away. Starbucks - 2 blocks away. CVS about 5 blocks away. Some fabulous restaurants also only a few blocks away. The bus route runs right by the condo which made it extremely easy to get around town. I can't thank Kate and Jarek enough for making this available for rent. It was so much better than staying in a hotel!!

We stayed in this condo during our April vacation and truly enjoyed our time there. It is located on a residential street, yet one can find everything within walking distance (a Whole Foods just a few blocks away, as well as many great restaurants). The condo is very clean and well taken care of. It's is beautifully furnished, and generously equipped with linens and towels. We will definitely recommend this condo to friends and family.

My bosses had a convention to attend in DC and I wanted to set them up somewhere clean, comfortable & reliable. They were BEYOND happy when they arrived and said that the 2 bedroom was absolutely darling and that they want to stay there again for the next convention. The location is brilliant and the service impeccable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A threat of heavy snow loomed over our Christmas visit (we got out just in time) but upon walking into our Swann accommodations we knew the possibility of being snowed in was not the worst thing in the world! So clean, so modern and everything we needed was at our fingertips. We loved the neighborhood as well. We spent a full day at the Newseum (highly recommended), saw everything we wanted, ate great food, took the train to New York City Christmas day and left just before the snow. Every time we listed the reasons we were so fortunate our list began and ended with our Swann apartment! Thank you, Jared and Kate, for your wonderful hospitality. Book this place now!
