Great stay in an impeccably clean house in a super convenient area. We were within a 15 minute drive of everything we wanted: Gaslamp, USS Midway, Balboa Park, Little Italy. We weren’t the scootering types, but I could definitely see using the electric scooter rentals being very doable as it is just a few blocks from the Gaslamp quarter, where there are many funky restaurants to choose from (we went to Werewolf for Sunday brunch - great food and the Yelp waitlist made getting a table easy).
The Carriage House is on the property of a giant and beautiful Victorian home which is used as an office - but in the midst of a residential neighborhood. While I admit, initially the setup seemed a bit odd, we never bumped into anyone coming or going from the office and it was very quiet at night. However, because of the unique logistics, there is no outdoor space to use - not an issue for us, but just keep in mind if you’re looking for a yard for a BBQ or kids, etc.
Even though the two king bedrooms are next to each other upstairs, our two couples in the rooms couldn’t hear each other, so walls must be pretty thick (I hear more when I stay in most hotel rooms). Beds and pillows were comfortable.
