The carriage house is a gem on a quiet block an easy walk to all the U street bustle and a 20minute walk to the convention center. The place is beautiful and thoughtfully appointed for a short or long term stay. I liked the attention to details like nice kettle in the kitchen, a really good iron (for conference clothes) and a decorative/functional magnifying glass I could look at stamps foraged from the postal museum. Definitely would stay there again.
