This place was wonderful! Cute, very clean, and an adorable kiddo led us to our door. We mostly just showered and slept here as a stop on a busy vacation. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

Great little studio

We had a great stay in Boise. Chris was a great host, and the studio had everything we needed for our 3 day stay including a comfortable bed. Hopefully we will be able to stay here again the next time we come in to town.

Fantastic property for the price. Way better than basically anything I could find. Everything was super clean and the overall living space was really good. The bathroom was very nice and clean. I will most likely stay here again when I visit Boise.

Great studio near the foothills

I, my wife, and our friend really enjoyed our stay here. We were just minutes from the city center and great hikes in the foothills. Chris was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our friend slept on the couch and she thought it was very comfortable.

This place was wonderful!! The hosts were quick to respond to all of my messages and very accommodating. The place was jbigger than I expected and had everything we needed. The mattress and pillows were both really comfortable, which can be hard to find! The shower is a large walk-in with great water pressure. The heater/air conditioning combo units worked great! The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and the upstairs neighbors were quiet and respectful. Most of the time I didn’t even know anyone was there. The only tricky part about our stay was opening the lock to get the key. It took several tries but we figured it out. I would highly recommend this place and these hosts!! They were a pleasure to work with. Thanks for making things so easy!
