Maria and her family were wonderful - so thoughtful and responsive. The carriage house is adorable, fantastic location, and great amenities. All of the finishes in the Carriage House are beautiful and the shower is awesome!!! We had a wonderful vacation even with the heat wave. We definitely will stay there again. After hearing about our trip my sister has made me promise to come back to Washington with her. From a location perspective, we were one block away from an H Street Free street car stop - nice air conditioned transportation to Union Station. At Union Station we could pick up the Circulator air conditioned bus for $1. The Circulator goes by all of the major monuments and museums. So transportation from the carriage house was very affordable. Because we were there during a heat wave we ended up taking Lyft a lot. Most of our trips were $8 to $10 rides and we always got quick response from Lyft. When we were tired after a long day we used Door Dash to have dinner delivered. The restaurant options were many and the food was great. It was a very comfortable, relaxing space at the end of the day. Even though the carriage house is just off of H street it was very quiet neighborhood. There are many restaurants along H Street and the street car is a great way to get to them. Five stars!!!
