It was easy to book this location and it was minutes away from the airport. It was nice and clean and surprisingly spacious. The mattress wasn't the best but other than that....we enjoyed our stay.
The host was very easy to deal with and very straight forward. I would recommend anyone looking at this place to stay there it's in good location and good neighborhood
We felt welcome and comfortable in this home. It was perfect for me and my 2 friends. We all felt it was a great place to stay and met all our needs. We would definitely stay at this home again.
It was a good stay for our weekend of nephews wedding at old school venue. Some minor issues and things but host was informed of them. Host was wonderful of contact and answering of questions. I would stay again, he was a great host .

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Location
The house smelled like smoke. There was finger or toe nails in one of the cups. Just better cleaning. Nice house setup was good. Communication was good
What a great property! So close to the airport for our late flight. Very easy check in, codes all worked. Very clean property withe cutest back yard, with a string of lights along the fence. Quiet neighborhood. Troy was very easy to contact with questions. I would definitely stay here again!
