My father and I stayed here and found it wonderfully convenient. It was a 10 min walk to Union Station and a 15 min walk to the Capitol. We found it easy to access both buses and metro and used both to get around to the museums, which is primarily why we were in DC. We found the carriage house exactly as described and quite comfortable and quiet. The neighborhood is well worth exploring, lots of charming older homes and gardens. Very safe, even at night. Both Union Market and Eastern Market are close enough to walk to and worth checking out. Marguerite was a lovely host and we had a wonderful time in DC in large part because of our booking there! Highly recommend.
