Marguerite's carriage house was the perfect place for our family of 4 (two adults, a 14 y/o and an 11 y/o) to stay for our week in DC. The carriage house is just as depicted/described, with thoughtful touches such as an umbrella for use while we were there. The garden off of the bedroom is truly lovely. The kids found the daybed and trundle to be quite comfortable and it was great for my husband and me to have a room to ourselves. Hilary (property manager) was extremely prompt and responsive to any questions. The location is about 4 blocks from the Capitol building, and about a 10-15 minute walk from both Union Station and Eastern Market Metro so using public transportation was easy. We also appreciated the free off-street parking. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet and we felt very safe at all times. There are many restaurants and shops nearby. Marguerite also supplies a very helpful and fun-to-read guide to the neighborhood. We would recommend carriage house whole-heartedly and would definitely stay again if we come back to DC.
