The house was super clean, super comfortable, awesome communication from the owner and well worth the fee. Highly recommend if you are staying in that Alton Ill area.
We had a great time in Alton visiting family. We also got to visit St. Louis for part of a day and enjoy the many surrounding areas. This location was prime. Loved the house and driveway! Wish we had more time to stay and enjoy!
The home is very large, and beautiful. It is conveniently located where anything you need is a few minutes away. The owner was very responsive when needed but respected our privacy while at the home. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need and the outdoor spaces are perfect. We spent a lot of time on both the front and back decks, relaxing and talking. Hopefully we will be in the area again soon to rent this property.
Loved everything about the place, except the neighborhood. We loved watching the rabbits every night. There was a family that live on the back property, lovely to watch. It was quote, no safety issues, just not what we were expecting.
This is a beautiful home with large, modern kitchen, dining room and family room. The back deck overlooked a back yard with more rabbits and fireflies than we have seen in many years - the kids loved it! The bedrooms were ample,especially the master bedroom with attached bathroom and large, modern shower. The property manager provided outstanding communication and prompt replies to questions.
I rented this home for mine and my sisters family to attend my parents internment. I had no idea at the time that the home my parents first lived in when they married in 1954 was across the street! Your home was comfortable and welcoming as we gathered and told stories, relived old memories and built new ones. It was precisely what we needed!! It was enjoyable sitting on the back porch in the morning and on the front porch in the evening. Easy access to stores and activities. The beds were very comfortable and supportive. I would definitely stay here again!
