Great Time at the Carriage House on Meridian
The pictures actually don't do this place justice. It was actually better than pictured and incredibly clean. If you want to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. It doesn't have a grill, but we know that before hand and brought our own. The beds and couches were comfortable. Be aware though that the bedrooms upstairs can get quite warm. The ceiling fans help quite a bit, however. The only thing we would recommend (besides a grill) would be to have cushions for the outside stairs. I did not have to talk to the hosts much, but they were responsive and very friendly. The location may look a bit sketchy but we felt comfortable and it was perfect for walking to both Lucas Oil and to monument circle area. We would definately stay again!

Excellent Place to Stay
We found the property to be quite charming. It was fairly close to downtown/Monument Circle which made walking easy. The owners were very responsive and answered all our questions timely. We would definitely stay there again.
