Historic 1-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home, with two private balconies and RARE driveway parking option. Situated on the 2nd floor of an historic townhouse, with an emphasis on upscale furnishings, organic amenities and excellent customer service.

Spacious DuPont Circle-Kalorama home rests on a quiet tree-lined street in one of the most preferred neighborhoods of DC. We are nestled among beautiful mansions, embassies and presidential dwellings.

The home is renovated and has 1000 square feet of indoor living space, featuring high ceilings, tall windows and original French doors. Enhancing those quarters are two balconies: just off the kitchen for dining alfresco, and next to the bedroom for morning coffee and quiet conversation outdoors.

Comfortable contemporary and antique furnishings are accented by eclectic décor. You’ll find the kitchen well-stocked for your cooking needs. The spiral staircase leads to a master retreat that is tucked away from the rest of the home. The bedroom is nicely sized and comfortably appointed. Complementing that space is a full bathroom, sunroom alcove and a Juliette balcony.

Steps from our door you will find a corner market and a dry cleaner. Just a few blocks beyond you'll enjoy restaurants, cafes, salons, theater and shopping.

Quiet neighborhood with charm

The efficient apartment had everything we needed in a small but perfectly appointed space. High ceilings combined with chic rustic antiques, quaint sitting areas, and a balcony perfect for breakfast coffee or evening glass of wine. There were enough kitchen appliances (a Vitamix!!) to cook a meal with a nearby neighborhood grocer with fresh eggs and limited but upscale food. The restaurants in walking distance were also fantastic (Zenebech..Michelin Bib Gourmand (!) was excellent.) Also, the Metro stop in DuPont Circle is a convenient 10 minute walk with coffee shops and cafes en route.

Wonderful get away

My husband and I went to visit our daughter who attends AU. Gloria's place was the perfect place to stay. She was always communicating with me to make sure we were comfortable. We could walk everywhere which i love to do. I would be more than happy to stay at Gloria's place again.

Cute apartment in a good location and neighborhood. Not as big or new as it looks in photos. Owner was responsive to our questions. Huge construction project in the neighborhood that was not mentioned when we rented. Not the five star experience promised but a strong three.

Great location!

The apartment was lovely and our host was easily reachable when we had questions. The location was perfect (near restaurants, etc.) but also on a quiet street. We would definitely stay at this VRBO on future trips to the District.

Great rental in a great location!

The apartment is everything it’s advertised to be and more. The location is quiet and a short 5 minute walk through a beautiful neighborhood to restaurants, shopping, and the Sunday Farmers Market! The apartment is small but very clean and stocked with all the essentials. Gloria was very attentive and accommodating. The only slight drawback was the spiral staircase leading to the bedroom. While it adds to the charm of the unit it is a little tight. If mobility is an issue keep this in mind. Thank you Gloria for sharing your home with us!

Loved this apt. It is in a great neighborhood & wonderful to walk in. The property itself is very nice and charming,but not overdone so that you feel like you can't even relax on the furniture. Lovely appointments,immaculately clean & great linens. I certainly hope we can stay here again.

Light & Bright // Safe & Secure // Clean & Well Appointed

I loved meeting Gloria. She was an amazing help. While we were unable to work out an early check-in, I loved that she tried. I loved that she cared. The unit was very much like the photos. I was snowed in on one entire day and the bright windows made my unplanned shut-in day so perfect! So many places I looked at were basement units and I was so happy with the bright light. The spiral staircase leading to the bedroom was difficult but not unmanageable. I did not like the smell walking into the building but it was not in the unit at all. Once in the unit the home was welcoming and clean. I had arrived a little early so I saw it dirty. I dropped my bags and when I came back the cleaning service used by Gloria had done an amazing job. I was very impressed. My values noted in the title were all met in this special place. I also want to comment on the amazing location. Not only was it safe but it was so close to the places I wanted to go. Thank you, Gloria! M.

Great location. Quiet, beautiful neighborhood. We would stay here again.

The property is conveniently located to walking or Metro to any or all popular destinations. The apartment itself is cozy and good for two people. The spiral staircase is a bit precarious especially with large luggage. Watching the street from the balcony was a pleasant way to pass the time. Gloria was easy and gracious to work with. We would definitely be interested in a return stay.

Quaint, Charming Vintage Place in a very Quiet and Safe Neighborhood

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place. We would definitely stay again. We were so happy we chose to stay there instead of across the river. Gloria was an awesome host. She was very helpful and responded to any questions promptly. The place is as described. If driving into the city, pay for the driveway parking. It is worth not having to find street parking or another place to park. The place is an short stroll to Dupont Circle. We read the previous reviews and found them to be helpful. In regards to the stairwell, smaller suitcases would be better than one large one. Don't let it intimidate you. We had no problem going up and down it even after walking the city all day. There are numerous excellent restaurants and bars within walking distance. We enjoyed the Russia House, the Bier Baron Tavern and Larry's Ice Cream & Cupcakes for dessert.
