Stroll up the staircase to experience a cool, contemporary rooftop deck included for guests to enjoy their glass of vino in the evenings or your first brew of the day - a rarity in D.C.!

Please Note: The roof deck is available to be enjoyed from 7am-9pm.

With a 'walk score' of 95 this is a walkers paradise! With some of DC`s finest coffee, cuisine and culture right outside your door our spacious, private house is perfect for traveling families, groups on business, or anyone hoping to make the MOST out of their trip to DC!

Guest Access:
The carriage house is located directly behind a rowhome. There is a gate to the right of the rowhome which leads you to the rear of the house, where the carriage house is located. The front patio area is not included for guest use, but the exclusive rooftop deck is begging to be enjoyed!

The Neighborhood:
The location is the epicenter of DC’s music and dining scene, always the place to be seen in D.C! 
Walk around the corner 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’ walk from the home.

Getting Around:
We are a 3 minute stroll on foot from the Shaw/Howard Metro Stop and about 10 minutes from the U Street/African American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Station.  
Nearby buses, Capital Bikeshare’s, and Uber’s surround the area - 95% Walk Score! 
Shaw, centered around U Street NW, has been the hub for African-American social, cultural, and economic progress in the nation`s capital! U St is famous for it’s lively music scene and its smorgasbord of dining options. Foodies will have no shortage of choices; from Ben’s Chili Bowl to homemade ice cream at the Ice Cream Jubilee, there’s a little something for everyone. 
The neighborhood is very safe - experience the nightlife of U St, and leisurely stroll back to your apartment for some welcome respite.  

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!  . 

- Walter E. Washington Convention center is a 15 minute walk, or just 1 stop on the metro.  
- Regan airport is 20 minutes away on the yellow line.  
- The National Mall/Smithsonian is a mile walk or 5 minutes on the metro.

Other Things to Note:
There is an interconnecting door between the carriage house and the tenant's private garage (which is not included with the reservation). Guests shouldn`t hear much coming and going, but please be aware that door is only used as an emergency exit. 

Please Note: The roof deck is available to be enjoyed from 7am-9pm.

Clean, cozy, and comfortable
The Carriage House worked very well with our plans for a brief stay. The accommodation was perfectly clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was exceptionally pleasant with tree-lined streets, lots of folks walking their dogs, and nice eateries nearby with outstanding cuisine. The owners were very cordial and we were minutes away from our destination. Nice respite.
