Why the Owner Chose Washington

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 Condominium

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.

Owner's Map of Washington

We are family owned and operated. From the left meet Kate, 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.

    • Jarek and Kate - I wanted to thank you for providing such a great accommodation for our family trip to DC. Your place was spectacular, convenient and absolutely beautiful. We walked to Whole Foods, Lauriol Plaza and The White House and loved the experience of experiencing the city from this location. We always looked forward coming home and got the rest we need to continue with our explorations the next day. Thank you for all the tips and assistance with our vacation. Jennifer and Chad

    • What a beautiful place and great location. We have stayed in various apartments over the years and this has been the nicest by far. The apartment has modern décor, feels very warm and comfortable as well as open and bright. We loved spending time in the neighborhood, which feels very safe and offers number of great restaurants to try. Our favorite ended up being our host’s recommendation of Tabard Inn – highly recommend it. We spend days at the Phillips Collection and walked the embassy row and felt very much as part of Washington for the week we spent here. We loved our time here as well as our hosts who have been great source of information on where to go, what to see and where to eat. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place. Stacy and Richard
