About this property

Artist Studio Coach House

This property is a unique historic carriage house of extraordinary design, formerly the studio of a metal sculptor. Very high ceilings, artistically styled, fabulous space and location. Modern decor, many pieces made by the sculptor and furniture designer. Loft bedroom, all the comforts while staying in an actual piece of art! The kitchen and bathroom have recently been remodeled with quality: artisan crafted cabinets in the kitchen and unique modern bathroom design by an artist.

Downstairs is an open floor space. The dining table is the artist's refinished work table. Much of the furniture is uniquely crafted as well.Upstairs is a brand new queen bed and several comfy seating areas for working or reading.

Everything is fresh as it has been recently renovated; all the bedding, dishes, etc are brand new. The carriage house has been featured in the Washington Post and has twice been chosen to be on the Dupont Circle House Tour and the Logan Circle House Tour.

This carriage house, or studio as we always call it, is a private space for guests with a private entrance. It's like having your own little home with everything you need to be comfortable. There is an area in front of the carriage house where you can hang out in good weather with chairs and a table and umbrella.

The Dupont-Logan neighborhood is central to shopping, dining, clubs and walking distance to just about everything you might want to do in DC. Parks are nearby, Metro, Bike-sharing, steps away.

Please note that you must walk down a short, and safe alley to get to the carriage house. Please do not go to any of the row houses to access the location. They are not associated with the space.

A Special Place to Stay

If you like art, a quiet place away from the tourist crowds and access to lots of good restaurants, this is a great place to stay. My time in the carriage house was comfortable with everything provided in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom for its guests. I greatly enjoyed discovering all of the sculptures, paintings and photographs by the artist that worked here. As a woman staying here alone, I always felt safe in the neighborhood and walking down the short alley even when returning late at night.

Great location! Will stay again.

Really enjoyed this unique property. It has everything needed for a comfortable visit. We even entertained the people we were visiting in DC since this carriage house was bigger than their apartment. The only things I could have used that we didn't have available were a large salad bowl and some tongs! (I'm sure Susan would have lent one if I had called!) Nicely appointed and quite comfortable. Great shower! Will stay again!

Charming Carriage House in Great Location

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay in the carriage house. It's unique features and great location made for a wonderful experience. There are several excellent bars and restruants just a block away on 14th street. City-share bicycles are also conveniently located right around the corner. Though we never cooked any meals, the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need. Susan is a wonderful host and very attentive to whatever you may need. My husband and I highly recommend the carriage house to anyone who is looking to completely submerse themselves in DC living.

Beautiful unique stay in a fabulous location!

I stayed several weeks here when I was working in the area. Absolutely loved my stay. It's such a beautiful and unique space! The photos don't even do it justice. My visitors were also super impressed. The location is also fabulous--a beautiful neighborhood and walking distance from grocery stores, great restaurants, boutiques, etc.. It's also relatively close to lots of museums and tourist attractions--an easy Uber ride or bike/scooter ride on safe bike lanes in the area. AND the place comes with a parking space! When my husband visited, Susan (my host) also provided me with a local parking permit, so I could easily park on the street and we could keep my husband's car in the parking space. Susan was a great host and responded very quickly to any questions. I would love to stay here again.

An Art Lovers Dream

Susan, the owner, has turned an artist studio/carriage house into an inviting, comfortable and creative space . Perfect location to visit DC sites. The interior is full of art and has everything a guest might need. We had a wonderful time and were sad to leave. Susan was the perfect host for our vacation.

One of the loveliest properties I have ever stayed at, in terms of the artwork which you can see but is better in person, and all the bespoke metalwork finishes inside the cottage. Great service from the host, amazing location, comfortable. Read the directions before attempting to drive there!

Great place to stay

This was an awesome studio, the neighborhood was very trendy and walkable, it is about two blocks from great restaurants and shopping and about a mile from China town. Susan was a great host, met me for check in and showed me around the place, where to find the light switches, and how to secure the door, this was very helpful because it isn't wasn't obvious or like most doors and switches. Also gave me some recommendations for restaurants. I hope I get an opportunity to stay here again. I would love to have more time to explore the area. Important to know - it was very clean and I felt safe here.

Great location

The carriage house is in a great location to visit DC. The neighborhood is lovely and very walkable, with restaurants and groceries just blocks away. It’s located in a quiet rear space behind well kept brownstones. Metro is a 7 block easy walk in a nice area and bus stops are all around. We used Uber quite often and the rides were short to DC attractions. We felt it was a very safe area to walk in and there were always friendly people around. The house itself is very unusual, with interesting artwork in every corner. Definitely not your standard rental, it had its own personality. The owner, Susan, made sure we had everything we needed and the house was well stocked. The front door was a bit tricky to lock and it took some practice. The queen size bed was very comfortable and we had a good size closet and chest with three drawers for storage upstairs. A battery powered night light was provided that we hung on the stairs for safety at night, as the bathroom was downstairs. The bathroom had a tub with shower and the shower pressure was great. The kitchen had stainless appliances, a full size refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. The downstairs kitchen, dining and living room were in one big open space. I loved that I could sit on the bed upstairs and watch the tv downstairs. After a long day of seeing DC, this was a great place to come home to.

Perfect DC Weekend

The Location of the Artist Studio Carriage House is ideal for walking and exploring DC’s wonderful sights. We enjoyed our stay in the studio and the convenience of enjoying coffee and breakfast prior to heading out each day. The studio kitchen has everything we needed. The bedroom loft is spacious, full of natural light and the bed was very comfortable.

Excellent location near all, VERY cozy and comfortable, and unique. If you want fancy and sterile with a big screen TV, this place is not for you. But if you are a family or person with beautiful peaceful and eclectic spirit who wants to explore DC and come home to a safe, welcoming and peaceful homebase, this place is a gem. Excellent host as well. We did not want to leave and look forward to our next visit.

Mady and Jacob, I so enjoyed meeting you both. I love how active you were while in DC. You ventured beyond the normal touristy things. Next time you can try kayaking or canoeing from Key Bridge boathouse which is near where you had lunch in Georgetown. Also near the bike trail! Please come and stay again!

Great location! Cute place! Amazing owner!

My husband and I enjoyed the DuPont Carriage House during our stay in DC. It was clean, comfortable and incredibly well-located, Metro stations close by and some amazing local flavor, all walkable! We checked out Estadio for Tapas and had the best meal ever! Susan was gracious, friendly and incredibly generous and patient! Working with us through a few cancellations and even alerting us ahead of time to some construction in the adjacent row house and carriage house. Most days we were out and about, but they started early so sleeping in wasn't in our cards. Great breakfast places close so that helped (Ted's Bulletin and Commissary are high on the list) Overall, great place, perfect spot and Susan's kindness and eagerness to help made it a wonderful stay!

Artistic delight in Washington, DC

Entering the condo, guests are welcomed by a huge metal sculpture, further indicating the artistic interior. The condo is tucked neatly behind a row of beautiful townhouses in a great neighborhood. It is a former carriage house turned into an artist studio, turned into a condo! We loved the interior with its artistic touches, open air plan, unique metal sculpture and cozy vibe. The bedroom is upstairs, but we had no problem with going downstairs to use the bathroom, which, by the way, is also creative. We were worried that it was a bit far from DuPont Circle, but we used Uber so the location was fine. Great local restaurants are very near and several groceries. Loved the condo. It is definitely for those who love unique spaces, not for those who want luxury. The condo is nicely appointed and had everything that we needed. Susan was a wonderful host who was available for any of our needs.
