Although my review is in the Carriage House section, I actually stayed in Marguerite's basement apartment in the main house. The heating was out in the Carriage House and Hilary and Marguerite were very accommodating and offered me the basement unit. I never met Marguerite, but Hilary (who manages the units for Marguerite) was absolutely wonderful to deal with - start to finish.

I was in town for about two dozen meetings on the hill and needed easy access to make it all work. Whether staying to see the tourist attractions or for business, Marguerite's apartments could not be better located. One block from a park, three blocks from restaurants & groceries, four blocks from the Capital & the Supreme Court and five blocks from the mall.

Both units have good light, comfortable furniture for hanging out, cable TV and all the kitchen supplies anyone needs for an extended stay. Very cozy. There were even fresh croissants and eggs in the fridge when I got there. Off-street parking is a real bonus in this area as well. Especially for the price, this should be high on anyone's list of places to consider for a stay on Capital Hill.
