The carriage house has a lot going for it. The location is off-street and in a quiet neighborhood, extremely close to the Metro, great for walking explorations of the area, located near countless restaurants in several directions no more than 2-3 blocks away. (Check out nearby 17th Street in the evenings!) David and Alex are very responsive hosts, with clear communication and quick responsiveness. The mattress and pillows were among the most comfortable we have ever slept on, anywhere. The sofa and chairs are restful too. There's a terrific bakery not much more than half a block away. We highly recommend!!
