Lovely Carriage House

We had several family events around the Indianapolis area and this location suited us well. The bed was oh so comfortable! We're seniors with some mobility issues and the stairs were a challenge........ but we knew there were stairs, we just didn't realize our knees are getting older

Not perfect but a nice place to stay

The space is pretty small but the hosts organized everything within the space effectively. Most spaces and surfaces were well cleaned but some detail spaces needed attention, such as lights/walls, towels were clean but clearly well worn and some had light stains, the shower had not been cleaned which was clear to tell by the blonde hair on the wall. Neighborhood is quiet and parking is easy to find, the unit is a little confusing to find but once you find it it's easy to access. The walls are slanted so some spaces would be hard for tall people. Overall it's a nicely decorated, safe, clean place to spend the night.

I would not recommend staying here. It is in an unsafe area of Downtown Indy and the carriage house is skeptical.

Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and the host anticipated all needs. The property was well stocked with everything we could possibly need plus more! The bed was also incredibly comfortable. We had a minor issue with the door code at check in but the property manager responded and resolved it promptly. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again if/when we find ourselves in Indy again!
