We loved everything about our stay! Let me list all the items that mattered to us just so I’m clear:Communication: all communication to us was clear, concise, and more importantly, timely. There were no doubts on any aspect of our stay, from the moment we booked it, all the way to checkout time, we knew what to expect.Cleanliness: Spotless! This place looked like we were the first guests to stay here…ever. Thank you so much for taking pride in your work, and not making your guests clean the unit before we could enjoy it.Decor: The Christmas decorations were the perfect way to make us feel welcomed! Although we knew they had redecorated with a gingerbread theme (again, great communication), the pictures didn’t do it justice. Thank you so much for thinking of your guests.BONUS: There were little treats, and snacks set for us. This may seem trivial to some, but this thoughtful gesture was well received after a long trip.Location was perfect! Turn the corner and two blocks down you’ll be at HEB. A few more minutes and you’ll be at TAMU.100% recommend this house!

Check in was seamless. Host was amazing. Had sweet, thought touches to accommodate me and my girls during our stay. Beautifully decorated home. Beds, bedding and pillows were so comfortable. Shower felt like heavenly showers. Loved all the furniture and fall decorations. Best stay we have ever had.
