We found the carriage house to be nicely decorated and well appointed. And the beds were really comfortable, which to us is the most important element of a good stay. In addition, the neighborhood was interesting and we enjoyed seeing all the different styles of houses. It was also a very quiet area of town, and we felt quite safe there. The host’s write-up of the history of the area was fun to read as well.
Just a few things to be aware of before your stay:
The place had a peculiar smell, so when we returned from being out, we had to open the windows and leave the door open to let fresh air in. It was very hot during our stay and we appreciated the bedroom air conditioners. However, in one of the bedrooms, the air conditioner is situated at the head of the bed and at times it was difficult to sleep with the air conditioner blowing directly on us. However, if we turned it off, the room became an oven. That room also had a musty smell because you can’t open the windows. It would have been nice to have one window to let in fresh air. And finally, there were ants crawling around the sink and counter in the morning, despite putting everything away in the refrigerator and cupboard before going to bed. Not a big deal, but just be prepared to wash them down the sink.
