Elmar And Michelle’s place was great. The carriage house access was easy and street parking was also close by. The kitchen was perfect for me to fix breakfast each morning and reheat leftovers from take-away. The bed was very comfortable for me, and I have a high bar for that. There was a good coffee shop three minutes walk, Compass, that I frequented, and the Giant supermarket had groceries, Advil and anything else I needed during my stay. Michelle generously offered me free entrance to the Newsium (usually $26) which was one of the few attractions I had not seen in the four dozen times I had been to DC. They also had excellent dining suggestions for this vegetarian, both on the cheap and nutritious, as well as the posher for a last night treat (Le Diplomate). They made other recommendations that fit well with the pockets off free time I had (the Renwick one afternoon, the African American Museum another). Always ready, never nosy, I will book this carriage house for their hospitality again.
