By and large, the Carriage House served me well for a week in February when I was visiting family in the neighborhood. The bed was comfortable, the shower warm and plenty, and the Wifi speedy. I especially appreciated the copious amounts of cheery sunlight available through the southern exposure. On the other hand, the Carriage House is not a house. It is a small studio on top of a garage that gets even smaller when the Murphy Bed is pulled down. The place is fine for one, but it would be tight for two. Moreover, be warned that access is only available through the August app. When I contacted the host prior to my visit to explain that I found the app to be clumsy and unreliable and would prefer an alternative, he insisted that I use the app. I then explicitly asked whether the app would operate the door lock through Bluetooth rather than needing a cell or Wifi connection, and he assured me that it would. Well, he was wrong. The August app would not work for me without Wifi, which itself was not a problem except for the fact that the host had given me the wrong name for the Wifi network. Tons of networks popped up, but not the one I was told to look for. After not a short amount of aggravation, I stumbled by accident upon the network assigned to the unit and was then able to use the app. The unpleasant check-in experience, which was perfectly avoidable if the host had been more attentive, was not something I needed after a long flight from the West Coast. Also unpleasant was being asked, not once but twice, when I would be checking out. After promptly replying to the host’s email inquiry and informing him that I would be leaving shortly before the established 11:00 am check-out time, I received an email hours later from the property management company hired by the host asking when I would be checking out. That just seemed rude and sloppy. So, all in all, a nice place to stay, but not so nice hosting.
