My stay at the Carriage house was pleasantly beyond every expectation I had. The house is located within walking distance to the Bishop Arts District and not too far of a drive to downtown. Upon arriving, I easily found the location with the directions from the hosts and the beautiful mural also made the house easy to spot. Parking wasn’t difficult and I was able to check-in with ease thanks to Jane and Everett’s instructions. While the interior of the house itself was slightly smaller than I expected, everything else exceeded my expectations. From the clean and decorative interior, to the snacks and mini fridge that Jane and Everett so kindly provided, the cozy carriage house gave me a sense of home and comfort. I settled in with ease and was happily greeted by Jane who introduced herself and gave me a personal introduction to the area. Even though the house manual already has a guide for the places around the area, I’m really thankful for Jane’s hospitality and welcoming spirit. Though I had plans with my partner to explore the Bishop Arts District, we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave the home and decided to spend most of our night relaxing together in the comfort of the home. And while checking in was a breeze, checking out was difficult only because I just didn’t want to leave. I had such an amazing experience with my partner here and I hope to visit again soon!
