Rayonnie was a fantastic guest! Communication was smooth from start to finish, and our home was well cared for. The house rules were followed, they left the space in great condition, and they were respectful throughout their stay. There was a piece of furniture that was accidentally broken during the visit; however, Rayonnie notified us right away before checking out, sent photos, and promptly paid for the replacement. We truly appreciated the honesty and responsibility shown. We would be happy to host them again anytime and highly recommend them to other hosts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

We had the absolute BEST experience at this Vrbo! My daughter and her friends stayed here for a slumber party, and it was the perfect spot. The home was extremely clean, well-organized, and felt safe and comfortable from the moment we walked in.Everything was exactly as described — no surprises, no issues, no problems at all. The space was perfect for the girls to relax, laugh, and make memories. It had plenty of room and a great layout for a fun but cozy night together.The host clearly takes pride in maintaining the property, and it shows. I would absolutely book this location again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, hassle-free, perfect stay!

Great Spot for a Quick Visit

Myself and two of my kids stayed at this property while in Lafayette for a baseball game and a comic con. The house is wonderfully maintained and cozy. You do have to deal with a train that runs near by but the hosts does provide ear plugs if you wish to use them. I would stay at this property again.

Little Gem in Lafayette!

This house was just perfect for our stay in Lafayette for Mardi Gras! It’s a 1950s era bungalow lovingly restored and in an ideal location. Walk to the parade routes and also to downtown’s shopping and restaurants. There is a train that passes nearby, but it never seemed to bother us. There is also no dishwasher, so keep up with cleaning the dishes or bring disposable (and recyclable) items. We also enjoyed the side deck and backyard with a high fence for privacy and string lights made everything feel festive. Overall, a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tyler Albrecht

Host profile image
My name is Tyler Albrecht, I am from New Orleans Louisiana but have been in Acadiana since college when I attended UL. I am very active and love extreme sports & experiences like snowboarding and skydiving. I love creating beautiful spaces for others to enjoy in my community!

Why they chose this property

I absolutely love the location of this home situated so close to all of Downtown Lafayette's best shops, bars, and restaurants! You will have access to the entire property and house. Being located in downtown Lafayette and near railroad tracks and roads unwanted noise is a possibility at this location. Please consider this if you are a light sleeper!

What makes this property unique

The person I bought the home from inherited it from his late mother who purchased it in the 1950s as a single mom, which was unheard of then! For years he had people begging him to sell it to them. I was honored when he choose to sell his beloved family home to me because I promised him that I would restore it to something beautiful again. Upon completion, I gave the previous owner and his siblings a tour and they absolutely adored it.
