We considered ourselves fortunate to stay at this historic property. It was the perfect size to accommodate four adults comfortably, and was located in a quiet, safe, very walkable neighborhood. Our host, Brian, and the property's manager, Luis, answered our questions promptly and thoroughly. I would definitely recommend staying at this location and hope to do so again myself!
We rented this house in Washington DC. Located on Capitol Hill! Close to monuments and Smithsonian museums. IMHO very convenient place to stay for travellers. House by itself was clean and cozy. Plus you have an access to roof deck for sunny breakfast. We liked our stay. Recommend to anyone!
For our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers), "The Carriage House" was a great fit! The place was clean and is well maintained. The owner and property manager answered any questions we had and helped us in obtaining a parking spot for our minivan. With such a great location, it was not necessary to move our vehicle. We loved the Capital Bike Share being 2 blocks away, especially after a long day of walking and sightseeing! Everything that we needed was within walking distance, such as the sights, grocery store, and coffee shops, as well as bus stops and metro stations. We enjoyed relaxing or having breakfast on the rooftop deck or patio area outside the door. We definitely recommend The Carriage House!
Great location and felt safe in the environment. I would have like to see some cleaning supplies ie.... Dish washer soap. Also, my wife like to cook and there was no seasoning at all. You should have basic seasoning salt, pepper, and sugar. We understand we have to purchase specific type of seasoning but like I said the basic was not supplied. I will love to re-rent this property. The location is great for the area. Iâm looking forward to coming back over the summer. I will also refer your property to others I know.
This property exceeded expectations. It is conveniently located to the monuments and museums AND had it's own private parking spot. Communication with the owners were great as this was a last minute getaway. When we go back to DC we will be staying here again!
property was exactly what we wanted - near the sights but also felt private. the team was great to work with and all instructions were on point and easy to follow. would recommend staying here!
The carriage house was exactly as advertised and was exactly what our family of 4 adults needed for a weekend in DC. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.
Great location just steps from the Capitol and National Mall. Well maintained and appointed property with a dedicated parking space. Walking distance to National Mall. Brian and Luis are great hosts and very accomodating (letting us use the parking space after we checked out was greatly appreciated).
Thank you, great choice for staying in DC.
The carriage house was a perfect place to stay. It was in walking distance to all the monuments and museums. The home had comfortable beds and plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking if you donât feel like going out. It accommodated the large dog crate for or lab. The neighborhood was wonderful for walks and runs. We will definitely rent again since timing of Covid the museums were closed so we need to have return trip.
We just spent a week at the Carriage House and the location was top notch! Having a private parking spot was INCREDIBLE because it allowed us to drive around and explore DC throughout the day without worrying about parking when we get back. We loved having the little patio outside. There was enough room for 4 of us to spread out to âsocial distanceâ one in each room 1 on couch and a blow up in the kitchen. We also had enough space/ couches and chairs to spread out during our meals and hanging out. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!
Our first trip away in a long time. We picked this home due to location and the owner says he is a veteran as we are. We expect clean and for the place to deliver physically as it is photograph. This home did that. Where it fell apart was the total lack of help when a crisis arose and then being told that we were lying about the problem. As a military family, my husband served 36 years, we don't lie or fabricate problems at 10pm at night when we are tired and ready to go to sleep in the middle of a city. Our second night we arrived at 9pm to an invasion of cluster flies. Giant, slow moving flies. After killing 2 dozen & flushing down the toilet, they kept coming. We then figured out what all of the little plug in devices were, bug deterrents. We saw them coming in and out from under the kitchen cabinet. We text and called several times within the hour. NEVER a call or text back until 2 hours later. By this time, we left. Our bedroom was a loft and we couldn't keep the flies off the bed. They were on windows, cabinets, lights, buzzing all around. The night before I felt if something was on me, but thought I was imagining it. The next morning still no call or text. finally an email through the Homeaway site which they never used during our communication. Only personal phones & their email from the business. We didn't think to check Homeaway. We were trying to solve the problem so we could go back, but they cleaned the home & locked us out. We had to stay elsewhere for more money for 3 nights. Here is what they said to us, approved by the homeowner . "We did a thorough walk of the property this morning and found no infestation of flies inside as you had previously mentioned in your message to us. We also found no evidence of the two dozen flies that you had killed the other night. We searched the entire property with no success on finding any flies, dead or alive, you moved out because we didnât show up within an hour after you messaged us during after hours and did not give us a reasonable amount of time to reply. " Management Insane to suggest that we wanted to leave at 10 at night, pack up in the middle of DC & find some place else. These people refused to talk to us by phone, never have. Buyer beware of flies & people who don't communicate if you have a problem. We have NEVER had an issue with homeowners in the past, may we add, we too own several vacation rentals and never treat guest this way. Too many options in DC to pick from!
We were very impressed with our stay at the Carriage House. The location was ideal for access to all the major sites being just 1 block from the Capitol Building. The street and immediate area was charming and well taken care of. It also felt very safe considering we were in a capital city. We arrived very late to the rental and there was a slight hiccup with our parking permit that we were unable to sort out straight away. However - this was quickly resolved by our hosts first thing the next morning and we were able to park on the street near to the property without concern. The rental itself is a period property that had been upgraded to a high standard but still in keeping with the character. All the appliances in the kitchen were of a high specification and the bedding was very comfortable. We believe the upstairs was previously the hayloft for the Carriage House and as such there are some quite steep stairs which could prove an issue for some renters and possibly children. This was not a problem for us and again we enjoyed the thought that had gone into keeping the period feel of the space. The rental also had the bonus of access to a shared rooftop terrace- where we enjoyed our morning coffee. Our communication with the hosts was good - and they persevered despite us experiencing some issues with our UK cell phones. Due to the excellent location we were able to just walk to most of destinations we planned. We only had one full day in Washington. We started from the Carriage House and walked via the Supreme Court (at the bottom of the street) to the Library of Congress and Capitol Hill Building via the Mall to the National Archives and the Washington Monument. Then a detour to the White House and back on the Mall to the Lincoln Memorial.
This carriage house is a perfect place to stay in DC. Our family of four enjoyed the charm of the carriage house! We were so close to everything...the Capital, great restaurants, Saturday farmers market and bike rental. The property is quaint and the property owners take great care in providing a fantastic service. We would stay here anytime we visit DC!
Wonderful place near everything, flexible floor plan
Stayed here with my kids for a long weekend in the city. Couldn't possibly be a better place to launch excursions to everything. There's even 2 small grocers and a pharmacy literally around the corner. The floor plan is ideal for couples or more, very comfortable and incredibly quiet because it sits far off the street. Will be my first choice for future stays.
Very well kept apartment with a prime Capitol Hill location. Our family of 4 had a good stay in D.C. and Brian was very helpful. Apartment comes with parking, a major plus. No complaints, but just a slight warning for families with very small kids as the stairs can be a bit tricky,
Was going to stay in a hotel, but was lucky enough to find Brian's Carriage House in Capital Hill. Could not believe for the same price as a hotel I could get a home away from home only 1.5 blocks from the Supreme Court! Walking distance to all of DCs best. Brian was helpful in giving all the information I needed to make this stay perfect for my family and I and was exceptionally flexible with my fluid situation. It is a MUST STAY!
Best furnished rental on the Hill by far, perfect for entertaining
My wife and I used to stay in Hotel George for time on the Hill, since it's the closest hotel - but actually not that close, so instead we've now had the pleasure of staying in this "Capitol Hill Stay" property, sometimes on short notice. Fantastic place, location is unbeatable for any work on Capitol Hill (Supreme Court, Capitol, LoC, lobbyists). The owners are very attentive, responsive, & thoughtful - it's a real turnkey experience, everything prepped and ready each stay (I've always dreaded that in Airbnb or similar, where the owners don't do this for a living or take it seriously). Carriage House has the feeling of a sophisticated urban duplex, with an awesome kitchen, spacious new bathrooms, and a second bedroom I use as an office - perfect look & feel for entertaining as well. It's back off the street, quietly protected by a lovely gated courtyard (photo). Pet friendly = added bonus. Parking space at the back door = unbelievable bonus for Capitol Hill.

Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Capitol Hill Stay Veteran Owned Small Business Since 1997
We have been providing furnished housing on Capitol Hill thru our main business Capitol Hill Stay for 25 years. We are a veteran-owned small business. We have 24 places on Capitol Hill.
We do this full time. This is our only source of income.
We both traveled a great deal both in the military and in private business. Often it wasn't a great experience. So we decided when we started 20 years ago to try to provide the best lodging experience possible - pleasant, clean, professional, hassle-free, and in interesting, well-kept places.
We also pride ourselves on being open to all. We do not discriminate and we welcome all.
Stunning carriage house. Top location 3 blocks to Capitol. Charming Capitol Hill. Walk to National Mall, Union Station metro, restaurants. Two story brick 1890s carriage house. Stand alone structure. Tons of character. Open loft bedroom. PARKING
