After a delayed flight out of Portland, we arrived at the Carriage House late in the evening but we received a warm welcome from our hosts who were just getting home, as well. We appreciated the snacks left for us in the clean, well-organized kitchen since it was too late to venture out, and it didn't take long for us to fall asleep in Brook and Justin's cozy cottage. The bed was very comfortable and the bird's eye view of the rooftops, palm trees and California sky was fabulous. North Park is a pleasant neighborhood for wandering around and we found several good cafes (breakfast at The Mission and lunch at Waypoint Public), and if you're up for a hike you can also walk to South Park, Balboa Park, and beyond.
