Summary:
This beautifully designed 2 story carriage house apartment is the essence of tiny home perfection! It is completely stand alone and fully equipped for a memorable stay. A parking pass is available and must be requested in advance, simply sign up, request, and print (BEFORE you travel)!
The Space:
The living space is beautifully furnished with mid-century style decor. Enjoy the bijou kitchenette; whilst there is no full oven there is everything else you would need to whip up a light meal (includes an induction cooktop as well as a toaster oven with natural convection). For those not culinarily inclined, guests are encouraged to enjoy take-out from one of the amazing restaurants just outside your door!
Head up the custom spiral staircase and experience the centerpiece of your restful retreat in the lofted bedroom with double balcony doors that open up to give you a view of the leafy neighborhood. The bathroom is bright and spotless, complete with gorgeous penny tile and retro design with modern fixtures.
There`s also a lovely outside space off the kitchen that you`re welcome to enjoy that is shared with the adjoining property - perfect for sipping your morning cup of coffee while planning out your day. (Please be aware that the access to the bistro table + chairs is restricted after 7pm).
Parking permit included!

The Neighborhood:
The location is the epicenter of DC’s music and dining scene, always the place to be seen in D.C! Walk up the street and catch a wide range of music shows at the historic Howard Theater, or a few more blocks to the famous 9:30 Club.
A short distance in either direction takes you to the Right Proper Brew Pub, the Shaw Tavern, Bistro Boehm, Shaw Library and a bucketful of coffee houses, fitness centers and “pop-up” eating and entertainment venues.
A few more blocks brings you the U Street Corridor and 14th St, just minutes away on foot from all the fabulous restaurants bars and shopping that this hip neighborhood has to offer. Grocery stores, pharmacy and every other essential are just a few minutes on foot from the home.
Getting Around:
Absolutely no need for a car at this location (but an on-street parking pass is included!) with the Shaw-Howard Metro (Green and Yellow lines) just steps away, you can be at the National Mall, White House, the Capitol, Monuments and Museums, The Wharf or practically any place else in the city in 20 minutes or less.
Prefer something more active? Most central Washington DC features are all within walking. Several Capital Bikeshares are located short strolls away; they offer bike rentals by the hour at excellent rates - a truly awesome way to explore the city, the Potomac Tow Path, the Anacostia Waterfront, and nearby Virginia and Maryland.
