The house was clean, located conveniently by the University, and was everything our group of 4 needed for a wonderful weekend visiting our Baylor Bears! The host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. I would not hesitate to book with them again. It was a great place to stay and I have nothing but nice things to say about it!

We stayed at Jesse’s place during the Little League Regional Tournament. When we weren’t at the tournament we explored the area - most everything was in walking distance which was super convenient (Spice Village, Dr. Pepper Factory, Backyard Bar, Magnolia Market). The amenities at Jesse’s place were great. Linens, bathroom & kitchen essentials made it easy to enjoy the moment we arrived. The backyard was enticing to hangout but it was too hot for us to enjoy. Maybe next time!! Be sure to swing by Jesse’s tortilla factory and stock up before you head home!

We loved our stay at Jesse’s place. Everything went seamlessly from the check-in to check out. The place was clean and beds comfortable. The kids loved the bunk beds and the cool video game in their room along with the outdoor area activities. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Waco. Thank you for a great stay!
