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.

Private DC Studio
The studio apartment is very quiet and private. It's located in a great area with easy access to the rest of the city. We found that most stuff was in walking distance. The apartment was very clean and nice. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to DC.

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!

Wonderful Place
This property is exactly as described online and perfect for two people. It was spotless and super quiet. Access is off the alleyway - which was very easy to find; mid-way between two subway stops (each 10-15 minute walk through nice neighborhoods). We will definitely use it again whenever we visit DC.

Beautiful inside & great owners
This place is beautiful and clean inside, has everything you need, and the owners are very responsive and nice. It is more like the second floor of a garage than a carriage house. And the entrance is in an alley which looks much different than the front of the house on15th St.

We were absolutely delighted with the Carriage House. It was everything we needed. It is a perfectly outfitted studio. The hosts have thought of everything. The directions were perfect, everything we needed was in the apartment. It was very quiet and we easily found parking in the neighborhood. The bus down 14th street was a very easy way to get to the mall and museums and good restaurants were 2 blocks away. Getting into the apartment through the garage was also very easy. I would stay here again anytime I am in DC. Thanks for making it such an enjoyable and comfortable visit.

Very comfortable, well-stocked unit
We have stayed in several studio, mother-in-law unit type of places. This one was the most well-stocked unit for its size. Don't believe me? They had a lint roller and a fly swatter in the closet. We didn't need the fly swatter but the lint roller came in handy because I am a pet owner and I always seem to travel with a bit of dog hair on my clothes. 🙂 There was a nice amount of storage space for luggage, bathroom items, etc., which is not always the case in studio units. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and a Trader Joe's, in case you want to cook or just pick up a premade salad. We also had to stop at the Jeni's Ice Cream shop - delicious. The unit was very clean. They also had very few rules or check-out tasks, which was nice. We definitely would stay there again.

Excellent homebase for seeing DC
Accessing the accommodations was well thought out and the property was clean. The property owners were very responsive and helpful. The location is away from the touristy areas, but close enough to see the sites. Many options for dining out were available while being able to do some light cooking in if desired. One note: make sure and get the correct address from the owner as the VRBO app directions function takes you to the wrong house!

Mother Daughter Trip
My daughter (college age) and I had a wonderful week in DC. The carriage house was perfect for the two of us. It was exactly as promised! Located in a lovely walkable neighborhood we only used the car once for our Georgetown day. A great variety of restaurants, Trader Joes and Whole Foods were close as well. Cute shops up and down 14th. We also walked to all the museums, monuments, and The White House. We always felt safe, lots of people out and about. We slept great, I meant to check what the mattress brand was! Everything you would need was available in the kitchen. Super clean and organized. I spoke to both owners on the trip and they were both quick to respond. Highly recommend and would love to return.

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.

In town For a Conference
I had to come to DC from Dallas for a work conference at the Washington Hilton. I don’t enjoy staying at the hotel where the conference is held, so I opted for the Vrbo. The garage apartment is a wonderful location and has a much better vibe than a hotel room, in my opinion. I will say that the stairs are no joke and anyone who finds difficulty going up or down stairs would not be able to easily stay at this location.
