Cozy & Quiet in a Great Neighborhood

We manage a small dairy farm, and don't often get to explore DC. This studio was a perfect spot for us - tucked in an alley in a nice, safe neighborhood that was walkable and full of good restaurants and local businesses. Very clean and quiet!

Super convenient location and easy communication with the host. Be aware that the stairs up to the apartment are quite steep, so it is not easy to hoist giant suitcases up there, but it is not impossible. It was the perfect location for our trip and I recommend it highly!

Private DC Studio

The studio apartment is very quiet and private. It's located in a great area with easy access to the rest of the city. We found that most stuff was in walking distance. The apartment was very clean and nice. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to DC.

Quiet, clean studio in great neighborhood!

The property was surpisingly quiet for being in such a lively neighborhood. Fall colors were beautiful; loved walking and scootering around town. Check in and out was super easy and communication was very good.

Great stay in comfortable place

Super comfortable bed. Accusations Mickey appointed. Great location close to Whole Foods and trader joe. Excellent restaurants within easy walk. Especially liked the large echo speaker in apartment as I prefer white noise for sleeping.

Wonderful Place

This property is exactly as described online and perfect for two people. It was spotless and super quiet. Access is off the alleyway - which was very easy to find; mid-way between two subway stops (each 10-15 minute walk through nice neighborhoods). We will definitely use it again whenever we visit DC.

Compact comfort

Pleasant experience, convenient location especially for foodies w/ lots of nearby restaurants. Two small caveats—access is by a fairly steep staircase, so not the best choice if your mobility is limited; and I could have used instructions for the high-tech combined washer/dryer laundry unit.

Excellent homebase for seeing DC

Accessing the accommodations was well thought out and the property was clean. The property owners were very responsive and helpful. The location is away from the touristy areas, but close enough to see the sites. Many options for dining out were available while being able to do some light cooking in if desired. One note: make sure and get the correct address from the owner as the VRBO app directions function takes you to the wrong house!

We were absolutely delighted with the Carriage House. It was everything we needed. It is a perfectly outfitted studio. The hosts have thought of everything. The directions were perfect, everything we needed was in the apartment. It was very quiet and we easily found parking in the neighborhood. The bus down 14th street was a very easy way to get to the mall and museums and good restaurants were 2 blocks away. Getting into the apartment through the garage was also very easy. I would stay here again anytime I am in DC. Thanks for making it such an enjoyable and comfortable visit.

Mother Daughter Trip

My daughter (college age) and I had a wonderful week in DC. The carriage house was perfect for the two of us. It was exactly as promised! Located in a lovely walkable neighborhood we only used the car once for our Georgetown day. A great variety of restaurants, Trader Joes and Whole Foods were close as well. Cute shops up and down 14th. We also walked to all the museums, monuments, and The White House. We always felt safe, lots of people out and about. We slept great, I meant to check what the mattress brand was! Everything you would need was available in the kitchen. Super clean and organized. I spoke to both owners on the trip and they were both quick to respond. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Very comfortable, well-stocked unit

We have stayed in several studio, mother-in-law unit type of places. This one was the most well-stocked unit for its size. Don't believe me? They had a lint roller and a fly swatter in the closet. We didn't need the fly swatter but the lint roller came in handy because I am a pet owner and I always seem to travel with a bit of dog hair on my clothes. 🙂 There was a nice amount of storage space for luggage, bathroom items, etc., which is not always the case in studio units. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and a Trader Joe's, in case you want to cook or just pick up a premade salad. We also had to stop at the Jeni's Ice Cream shop - delicious. The unit was very clean. They also had very few rules or check-out tasks, which was nice. We definitely would stay there again.

Sweet weekend in DV

We could not have dreamed of a better location. There was so much to see, do, and eat within walking distance. Bring comfy shoes!! The communication with the host was quick and easy. The unit has everything we needed PLUS! If we ever come back to DC, I hope this can be our landing pad again! Thank you!

Overall we had a really nice stay. The bed was cozy and the room was very clean. The area was great.My only comment is that at night the room has a lot of street lights shining into the room and moonlight from the skylights. Perhaps curtains could help keep the room darker.

Convenient quiet location great for single woman working for the week in DC

Liked it was very near the S2 bus as I worked at the Natural History Museum each day and that is at the end of the line. The apartment is quiet with good internet and had everything I needed. It is near a Trader Joe’s and many fun restaurants. I walked back each evening. Landlord gave me a street parking pass one evening for my friend to use. I enjoyed the nearby Room and Board and West Elm showrooms one evening as we are furnishing our new home in NC.
