About this property

Carriage House Studio in the Heart of DC

Our recently renovated carriage house studio is located in one of DC's best neighborhoods, just two blocks from bustling 14th Street (Logan Circle), 17th Street (Dupont Circle), and U Street. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and stores within a couple of blocks. It's also close to downtown DC with the White House about a mile away and the National Mall close by! Our studio is the perfect location for visiting friends, sightseeing, and exploring all that DC has to offer.

There are several bus stops nearby, two separate metro/subway stations that are each about a ten-minute walk, and multiple Capital Bikeshare stations a couple of blocks in all directions.

You access the carriage house studio via the alley behind our home. You enter through the garage by entering a garage door code. The studio is on the second floor. It is one large room with a kitchenette.

The kitchenette has a mini-fridge with freezer, microwave, hot plate, Keurig, and drip coffee maker. The studio itself has several windows, A/C, heat, a ceiling fan, ample closet space, and a combo washer & dryer. The full bathroom is in a separate room.

Please note that the studio has a steeper than normal staircase to enter and exit. The stairwell has a handrail and is well lit. The backyard courtyard cannot be used.

For the streets closest to the carriage house, we can provide you a free parking permit that allows you to park nearby in all areas marked as Zone 2 parking. In order to receive a permit, you can send us your state, license plate number, and make/color of your car. We will print you a copy of the permit that you can leave on the dashboard.

Please note that the parking permit is only valid on the surrounding streets and is not valid in all of DC. Please also pay close attention to street sweeping signs to avoid tickets. While the carriage house is located in one of DC’s safest neighborhoods, please do not leave anything visible in your car.

For public transportation, nearby there are bus stops, two metro/subway stations, multiple Capital Bikeshare stations, rentable electric scooters & bikes, and plenty of Ubers/Lyfts/taxis. It's also a very walkable area with ample street parking.

Overall we had a really nice stay. The bed was cozy and the room was very clean. The area was great.My only comment is that at night the room has a lot of street lights shining into the room and moonlight from the skylights. Perhaps curtains could help keep the room darker.

Sweet weekend in DV

We could not have dreamed of a better location. There was so much to see, do, and eat within walking distance. Bring comfy shoes!! The communication with the host was quick and easy. The unit has everything we needed PLUS! If we ever come back to DC, I hope this can be our landing pad again! Thank you!

Cozy & Quiet in a Great Neighborhood

We manage a small dairy farm, and don't often get to explore DC. This studio was a perfect spot for us - tucked in an alley in a nice, safe neighborhood that was walkable and full of good restaurants and local businesses. Very clean and quiet!

A DC Getaway

This carriage house studio is just like the pictures. It is well stocked, very comfortable, and located in an attractive neighborhood. Street parking was provided, but we took advantage of the nearby Metro. What a great place to stay and experience the DC area!

Super convenient location and easy communication with the host. Be aware that the stairs up to the apartment are quite steep, so it is not easy to hoist giant suitcases up there, but it is not impossible. It was the perfect location for our trip and I recommend it highly!

Monuments/Museums/sights

Location is outstanding, close to restaurants, transportation is nearby, and accommodations were very comfortable. We walked to the Dupont Circle rail station most days and quickly got to all the sights/monuments/museums. Bed was very comfortable, kitchen was adequate, and air/heat worked great. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the DC area.
