This is a great place to stay. I can highly recommend it. Given the opportunity, we would stay there again.

It is not your typical B&B. The Carriage House itself is exquisite, inside and out. You really need to see it to appreciate its special character. It was clean, and well appointed. We had two grandchildren with us who particularly enjoyed the private courtyard.

The location is very central and convenient. For example, we took a leisurely walk through Balboa Park to the zoo. It took us maybe ten minutes to drive to the Gas Lamp Quarter.

The hosts were very personable and responsive. We had one small special request which was handled perfectly without hesitation.

If there is one negative it is the lack of air conditioning on particularly hot days. But, given the character of the Carriage House, air conditioning would almost out-of-keeping with the special ambiance.

I would give Carriage House 5 stars, maybe 4.9 stars on a real hot day.
