About this property
Sunny, Stylish Carriage House
Welcome to my private carriage house retreat! This stylish and quiet guesthouse with a blend of old farmhouse and modern features is a block from the heart of the Del Ray neighborhood. Separate from the owner’s home, the sunny second-floor guesthouse combines privacy, style, and convenience to nearby shops and restaurants. Features a kitchenette, stylish sitting and bedroom with tons of light, heart pine floors, bathroom with radiant floor heating, high-speed internet, and ample storage.
The kitchenette has two hot induction hot plates with pots and pans, but there is no oven; a microwave; a refrigerator; and a Keurig coffeemaker and drip coffeemaker. There is a washer/dryer all-in-one unit in the kitchen (detergent below the sink).
The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. The radiant floors in the bathroom are great!
The bedroom has a queen-sized bed.
And would appreciate taking shoes off in the apartment (there's a basket for shoes under the rack at the top of the stairs). Please don't place shoes on the couch (I know, commonsense!).

I would stay here if I’m ever in this area again. I was able to Uber to restaurants very easily and it’s not far from the airport. Very nice and safe neighborhood. It was perfect for what I needed.
We were very blessed staying here. Excellent host and beautiful neighborhood to go with the beautiful cottage we stayed at. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again.
We stayed at the property for 5 weeks while our home was going through a renovation. The location was perfect for our needs and, knowing the neighborhood well, we were incredibly pleased with the convenience. The property was just as described and would highly recommend.
This was exactly as advertised!
Fantastic location, very clean, wonderful linens and towels, plenty of coffee, tea, soap, shampoo, etc.
We will go back again!
