Beautiful neighborhood, great for taking walks around University Hill! The host was very responsive and the home is very clean. The kitchen and bathrooms look to be recently and tastefully remoded. Our only criticism is the furnishings. The living room has a loveseat size couch and two spare chairs, so not too comfortable for more than two people. In the room off the kitchen, the table is way too small for the space, has only four chairs and a bench. A three BR home should accommodate six adults comfortably but I'm sorry to say this home is more suited for four or less.
Great property. Convenient location to campus and five points. Management company was very responsive and even gave us a late checkout with very little advanced notice. 100% would stay here again!!!!
This is an older home with all of its charm, and also very well appointed. The neighborhood is great and very convenient to Five Points, downtown, etc. Very cute front porch and a cute small backyard. Beds and linens are nice, and the kitchen has all the basics. We will definitely stay here again.
This property was the perfect location to visit our daughter. We were able to walk to visit her and to Five Points. From first contact to check out the property manager made everything easy. Highly recommend!
This was a perfect location for the Five Points St. Patty’s day celebration! Quick walk had you right in the middle of all that Five Points has to offer! The back yard was perfect for us to gather and make memories! Rainy day wasn’t a problem as we enjoyed sitting on the front porch playing games. Parking is very narrow and a bit tricky, I had a big vehicle so once it was parked glad we were able to walk everywhere!
Some WOW features, but if the family wants a higher rating/review that will have to be earned. The porch is a WOW feature, but it was not clean, so if you touch the banister you have to wash your hands. The doors are a WOW feature, but the room doors all squeak loudly and wake up people if they are sleeping. The back courtyard could be a WOW, but the area is totally over-grown, the tree needs to be pruned badly, and the furniture is filthy. The parking is a problem. We rented a large SUV and the driveway is really small, so that was an issue. There is no street parking even though there are slots available for permanent residents - this needs to be addressed. The couch in the family room is really too small for the property. The TV's are old, and behind the times for streaming. The on-suite in the master is a WOW. If the family wants a higher rating they will have to invest capital and effort, otherwise, it will always be a 3-star, maybe a 3.5 to 4 star at the very best until the parking is fixed.
