Marguerite's carriage house was a perfect place to spend a few days in DC. I don't think you can find a better stay that can beat the location and the accommodation. The courtyard was a wonderful place to take our puppy out and sit back in the evening to reflect on what we did each day. We left our car parked for the entire stay because we walked everywhere. There are a few coffee shops, restaurants, and parks in the area not to mention the close proximity to the Capitol. By staying here, you can experience both, the busy DC and not so busy residential neighborhoods. Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations.
