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.

We come to DC frequently to visit family and this was our 1st time staying here, it is the perfect place for us. Great location and everything has been thought of in this studio apartment. Alexander was a most gracious host and answered my questions promptly. Will be staying here again soon!
Best vrbo stay I’ve ever had! Really appreciated every attention to detail and the communication! Thank you for such a fabulous stay in a convenient, clean, quiet location!! Hope to be back soon with my husband
Amazing spot! Exactly as described, very clean and had everything you would need. Very nice hosts who were easy to communicate with. Perfect spot to access public transit and plenty of places to eat in the area including a Trader Joe’s about 5 min walking distance for when you want to eat-in. Will definitely stay again if ever in the area in the future.
We loved our stay in this open loft space! We were in town to pray with the monks, and this space was perfect and cozy for my husband and I. Alexander was a lovely host; warm, inviting, and communicative to ensure we were able to get the most of our experience. The location, and nearby restaurants were such an added bonus. What a great getaway. Hope to see y'all again!

Great location! Close to shopping and restaurants, as well as being reasonably close to the National Mall/DC sights.
I’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO locations and I have to say that this was one of my favorites. So clean, perfect location, comfortable bed, the Host was extremely nice and helpful. 10/10 would recommend!

This is an absolute gem of a property, a private studio within walking distance of all the sights, downtown and great restaurants. I hope I can stay here if I go to DC again.
We love this place. This is the second time we've stayed here. The studio is very comfortable and has everything we need. It's in the perfect location for getting the best of the U St. and Logan Circle areas. Alexander is a great host – very responsive and good communications.
The host made check in easy. The space was very clean and in a great location. Close to public transit. Will definitely use again on our next trip to DC.
The carriage house was a cozy, immaculate, well-stocked accommodation in a safe, beautiful neighborhood within easy walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Hosts were very responsive and courteous.
Stay was good. Washer and dryer didn’t work but property owners handles the issue. Great location had everything we needed.

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!
We enjoyed the stay at this studio. It’s a close walk to a lot of restaurants, things to do. Parking on street was very easy. Check in was simple. Communication friendly and helpful. Space was clean. The bed is very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
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!
The property was surpisingly quiet for being in such a lively neighborhood. Fall colors were beautiful; loved walking and scootering around town. Check in and out was super easy and communication was very good.
Super comfortable bed. Accusations Mickey appointed. Great location close to Whole Foods and trader joe. Excellent restaurants within easy walk. Especially liked the large echo speaker in apartment as I prefer white noise for sleeping.
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!
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.
