We were made to feel so welcome by David for our stay at the carriage house. The place was great. Easy to get to even with luggage for the two(ish) block walk from the metro station. We are both artists so we picked this place not only for convenience but for the aesthetics and design of the house. Our expectations were far exceeded. The place was amazing. We were there for a week of sightseeing and visiting the museums so we needed a place to relax after long days on the mall, this place fit the bill. David was great to check-in and make sure that everything was going well and we were enjoying our stay. He was super responsive before and during our time there.

I would gladly stay here again if we return to DC, and would recommend it to anyone going to DC. It's well equipped and would comfortably accommodate a longer stay.

10 years ago when I was last in DC, capitol hill was not the best area of town. Now there are great restaurants and bars in walking distance of this place, near the eastern market metro. Tons of people walking around, and families with kids, very comfortable.

Only thing that might be a downside is the access to the place is through an alley that connects to a busy parking lot. My husband and I were always together when we were going back and forth between places so I never felt unsafe. But this might be more of a consideration if you are traveling alone.
