This house was an amazing deal for our 13-person crowd of coworkers, especially when compared to renting 13 hotel rooms in pricey nearby hotels. We used both structures on this property (the main house plus carriage house for a total of 11 bedrooms and 10 full plus 2 half bathrooms). Even with the large size of our group, we did not lack for room in any respect.
The location is top notch. Besides the convention center + Chinatown + metro stops, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops, Safeway, CVS, Orangetheory Fitness, Soul Cycle, and yoga within easy walking distance. The White House and Capitol Building are each ~1.3 miles away, each making for a nice morning or evening walk; add on the National Mall in between and you've got a decent run loop from house -> White House -> Capitol Bldg -> house.
The neighborhood felt safe; there are stately older homes in the immediate neighborhood and an adjacent bustling wide New York Avenue that leads through shiny/renovated buildings directly to the White House.
As for the house itself, it is clear this is a period building kept in impressively good repair given the age. The pictures are representative of the exterior and interior. The gracious staircase, wood paneling, floor to ceiling framed mirrors, and stained glass windows set this rental apart from the curated to perfection and sterile experience of hotels.
