Susan’s carriage house is absolutely outstanding in every way - by far the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in. Firstly, the area it’s in is lovely. Super close to the Rockridge BART station and all kinds of great places like Zachary’s Pizza, Smitten Ice Cream, and the Rockridge market hall. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and we had a great view of the creek. Checking in was very simple. The house itself was so cozy and lovely. Susan and Ralph stocked the kitchen with all sorts of snacks and treats, including some delicious granola set out on the table for breakfast. The shelves were filled with poetry books - we wished we could have spent our whole trip reading them in the cozy little loft at the top of the house. There were also lots of guides about the neighborhood and the Bay Area, so anyone who is not familiar with the area will feel right at home. We definitely hope to stay at the Carriage House every time we come to the Bay Area from now on!
