About the host
Hosted by Mabelle Villahermoso
Auburn is my birth place and my mother's birth place. We have been a part of Auburn since the early 1900's when it was a hopping place with lots of factories. My grandmother and grandfather came from Poland and ended up in Auburn for work about 1920.
Why they chose this property
I chose this house because it was the perfect size, cute and in a quiet, good neighborhood. I stay here myself in the spring and fall.
What makes this property unique
The house is uncluttered with plenty of amenities. It is easy to clean and to care for when we are visiting. I like the neighborhood and we can park anything in the driveway. There is a private backyard we like to sit in and relax in the evenings.
