Audra and Lacey not only have an amazing space with the Carriage House, but they also went above and beyond as hosts. In the morning hours of our first night at the Carriage House the smoke detector started to do the chirp it does when the battery needs replaced. The next day I text Audra and she was immediately on it. She came over and replaced the battery and my girlfriend and I went out to enjoy the shops and restaurants of the short north (everything is super close to the house). When we got back the alarm had started chirping again. It was late so I was afraid we may have to spend another fitful night, I text Audra and once again she came back to fix the problem. It was about 9pm on a Tuesday night and she doesn’t live in the area. Coming back to take care of that was way above and beyond. After yet another new battery, the smoke detector finally behaved itself.
The space was even more beautiful in person, and the keypad entry made coming and going a snap. Parking was easy to find on surrounding streets. We walked pretty much everywhere as there are literally dozens of restaurants and shops right around the corner. Two places you must hit for breakfast, Fox in the Snow (only about two blocks away) and Katalina’s (about a 20 min walk). Some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten was just up the road as well at Gore made Pizza. Sit at the bar if you can and watch the wood fire oven bake the perfect pizza. Nick the owner was so friendly and fun to talk to that he elevated the whole experience. Plus killer fresh ingredients on a perfectly crackly dough make this place a must stop.
Needless to say we had a great time in Columbus and are already talking about when we will go back, and of course a stay at the Carriage House is a must.
