The Coach House was a great option for a family and close to attractions and public transportation. Charming atmosphere and friendly owners. Helpful with questions and offering ideas of restaurants, travel, etc. We'd definitely go back!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers.

The location of this property is very safe and excellent for using the Metro. South Capitol station within easy walking distance and area seemed safe at night. Very pleasant area with park over the road. The property is within walking distance to the Capitol and Library of Congress. Owners met us when we arrived, finding us some food as we arrived very late at night after a long international flight; much appreciated. However we did not see them again throughout our 3 night stay. The property was clean though less spacious than indicated by the photos. Some additional furniture has been added which makes rooms somewhat cluttered. Microwave and toaster not working but otherwise kitchen was satisfactory. Small convenience store within walking distance was good. Upstairs bathroom was not pictured on vrbo site and was small and quite basic. Air conditioning had recently been installed in the property and whilst it was very effective downstairs, it was completely ineffective upstairs. Upstairs windows were blocked open by insect screens to allow for some ventilation in summer but the weather was very warm and humid. Unable to remove these screens. Ceiling fan in front bedroom was good but no fan in back bedroom. As the property is 1 1/2 blocks from the Southeastern Expressway, with the windows open it was traffic noise was an issue especially in the front bedroom. Morning commuter traffic started around 5:30 am. The spiral staircase to upstairs bedrooms is very narrow and tight - taking suitcases up is challenging - not suitable for elderly people. Also, there are steep stairs to gain access to property from street level. Again, this may cause problems for older travellers. I would not recommend this property in summer though it would probably be acceptable in winter with the windows shut.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

The Coach House was a fantastic place to stay for a family of 4. The location was perfect for sightseeing. We stayed during our Spring Break in March of 2010 and really enjoyed the weather. The home is very comfortable and there is plenty of room for a family of 4. I would recommend this home and stay again when visiting the D.C. area.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children.

We stayed here in April 2008 with our 2 children, ages 9 & 11. It was a perfect spot for walking to The Mall (Capitol and Library of Congress just blocks away), catching the Metro to the Zoo, and enjoying Garfield Park just across the street. The neighborhood is beautiful, and having a kitchen + washer/dryer came in handy. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
Owner response:Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your stay in our property and Washington DC.
