This handsome, charming, private carriage house features artistic tilework in the foyer and bathroom, rustic exposed wood in the living quarters, and an immensely comfortable bed, all in spotlessly clean condition. The one amenity you won't have is a stovetop, but who needs one in this restaurant-packed part of town? A microwave, toaster oven, instapot, and French press should fill 99% of your needs. The walkable Capitol Hill neighborhood is filled with shops, restaurants, and pubs in a lively post-covid scene. I visited during a heat wave followed by a monsoon, but the A/C split unit and ceiling fan kept the space nice and cool. Melinda is a responsive and amicable host who is there if you need her and not if you don't. One thing to note: the bathroom is 30 stairs removed from the living space (15 down and 15 back up). It shouldn't be a problem for most people, but the infirm and the inebriated should pay heed. That aside, Melinda's carriage house is a perfect place to stay while visiting and exploring DC! Five out of five stars!
