The Carriage House is a darling little historic property well renovated to be aesthetically pleasing while cosy and comfortable. The owners have been extremely thoughtful in providing amenities from coffee, cream, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo to ample towels and blankets to a myriad of games. They also provide both white noise makers and ear plugs in each bedroom in case the nearby freeway noise is an issue. I found that I quickly grew accustomed to the sound and actually slept extremely well with it in the background. While small the big windows in the main room look out onto a charming patio courtyard with chickens (!) which provides an easy open feeling. The location is excellent, including good parking, access to buses as close as the corner, lakefront bike trails blocks away, a great neighborhood cafe/grocery down the block. In sum, a great base for a stay in Seattle.
