Decompress in the Zen Surroundings of a Cozy Carriage House

Summary:
Sink into the sleek emerald couch at a homey red brick retreat in a lively, historic area. This family-friendly getaway features hardwood floors throughout, along with bohemian-inspired hanging plants and woven and macrame wall art.

The Space:
This tastefully appointed, newly designed, 3-bedroom and beautiful brick carriage house sits snugly behind the primary residence on this lot in a highly desirable and historic part of town. Within walking distance to the highlights of lively U st, Shaw & Logan Circle, as well as the renowned Le Droit Park, there's fun to be found for all ages here!

The house boasts all hardwood floors throughout. The bedrooms are cozy and furnished in a way that will leave you feeling far from cramped. There's also plenty of storage space in the bedroom closets that have built-in wardrobes and drawers.

The living room is warm and inviting and will be the perfect place for you and your guests to kick back & relax after a long day sightseeing in the city, or being stuck in your business meetings all day while in town.

So don't waste another minute on your booking decision because this is definitely the place to be for your next trip to DC!! Not to mention you'll be well taken care of the entire time you're here. (:

I hope to call you my guests real soon!

Micro-Mis-Management Malarkey

I was repeatedly asked (14 x's) what the purpose of my stay was. Could be for business, could be vacation, could be a death in the family, is it really anyones business but mine? It felt invasive.

Buyer Beware

I booked and paid for the property in full in June, 2023 for our August 2023 stay. However, a sizeable amount suddenly came off of my bank card 1-2 weeks prior to our trip with no indication that more money would be due. I was told this was a security deposit. When we arrived the day of our stay, the unit was filthy with trash, dirty linens, some of the linens were wet and a very unpleasant smell lingered through out the unit. Although, they did get housekeeping out to the unit approximately 30 minutes later. after my call, they apologized and said they would reimburse the cleaning fee.
