Perfect Alexandria getaway apartment

This carriage house apartment was exactly as described. It was really clean and furnished beautifully. It was much better than staying in a hotel due to the family room area and kitchenette. It has street parking, but it was never a problem to find a spot. It was close to downtown DC and Mount Vernon. Patrick was very responsive and the check-in and check-out process was really easy. Would be happy to stay here again!

Carriage house close to son

We stayed in the carriage house several days while visiting our son who lives within an easy walk. The carriage house was bright and cozy. It met all our needs.

Great place to stay!

The carriage house was everything we hoped it would be- sunny, spotless and super comfortable! It is located in a great little neighborhood within walking distance to shops and restaurants. On street parking was easy to find and convenient. I definitely recommend it and we will be staying there again on our next visit to the city.

LOVED staying here!! Location was fantastic and the neighborhood was so fun. Able to walk to restaurants, shops and parks.

Fabulous Stay

The Carriage House was fantastic! It was even better than the pictures portrayed! Super clean and in a neat neighborhood, .4 mile walk to metro station. Then a quick 10 minute ride to National Mall on yellow line. Returned on the blue line that took us to Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon. Just five minute drive from airport! We will stay here again if traveling to DC!! Easy access to everything!

Excellent!

Perfect for two, spacious, kitchen with everything you need, comfortable bed and nicely decorated throughout. Patrick has done a great job setting this place up for a very comfortable stay. Really impressed with his great communication. The neighborhood very quiet, plenty of parking, well kept and safe, walking distance to the little downtown area. The apartment has many windows, which is wonderful for light, but also the window treatments provided a nice sleeping environment, which is huge for us! Can't say enough about this place!
