Marguerite's carriage house is an absolutely perfect place from which to explore D.C. It is so convenient to the Capitol, Supreme Court, the National Mall. An easy and gorgeous walk to all of those places. And if you're tired at the end of the day a quick, cheap uber ride home. Check in/out was super convenient. We had driven into D.C. and it was so nice to have an off street parking space to leave the car while we were there. The carriage house is decorated beautifully, comfortable bed(s) and a gorgeous garden right out the French doors of the main bedroom. It's not a huge space but it's perfect for myself and my 2 boys (10) and (13) and would have easily accommodated my husband had he been able to join us. We all felt very safe there. And Marguerite is absolutely delightful and so friendly. Highly recommend!
