Needed to be in town for week for work and this turned out to be a perfect place to stay. Convenient to A&M and all the things College Station offers. Love the character of this VRBO and it was nice and cozy.
Love Our Stay!!! Easy to fine. Super close to A&M Campus and local shopping... The picture are exactly what you will get. Host are super friendly. We will stay again when we return.
We had a wonderful weekend and the hosts were amazing! We’re looking forward to staying here again. The location was perfect for a weekend stay - so many fun places/resturants within walking distance.
A property that superficially appears nice but reality is the floor is old and worn they tried to paint over some things but it is insufficient. We arrived late evening and found that basic furnishings such as paper towels and tissues were not provided. Kitchen cookware etc is provided in a most basic and limited manner, making it difficult to actually cook and eat meals in the home. The shower water barely gets warm. Overall a deceptive listing and home I would not stay in again. We did not decay single message from the owner. All owner messsges are automated. For example, I notified them we checked out and the only reply was an automated message telling us to inform them when we checked out. No personal messages seeing if our stay was ok.I was not pleased to find multiple written messages in the home stating that any review giving lower than 5 stars should not be submitted because a 4 star rating is the equivalent of saying “Shut it down” and 5 stars is appropriate and deserved if you “enjoyed your stay”, and there is no room for anything in between. This is a messsge you leave if you know you’re not providing what people deserve and expect. It does not need to be shut down, but if forced to choose between 5 stars and “shut it down”, I am unable to choose 5 stars. I would be lying and deceiving people.

The property was clean but we had trouble regulating the air and there’s not anywhere to put your clothes.
Senior Aggie was getting engaged!!! Needed more homey than hotel for the weekend. Perfect for the four of us. Bed was superb! Kids liked the bunks. Neighbors above us were up and footsteps/creaking could be heard at weird times all throughout both nights. But not heard in bedroom. Weird though.
We came for a campus visit for our H.S. senior. We were a party of four, but wanted several beds for a brother and sister. Lots of space and lots of bed options. The location is great! A short walk from University Dr. and the Northgate area. A nice park is just down the street. I took our dog there several times a day.
The Hosts were great at communication and providing for all our needs. We will try and stay again the next time we visit Aggieland.

Recently awarded by AirBnB "10 time Superhost" status, my wife, Kelly, and I were both born and raised in Bryan/College Station. We dated while at Texas A&M and married right after graduation. I became an Air Force Officer and we raised our 5 kids while moving around the country/world. We settled back in Bryan just over 5 years ago and started as AirBnB Superhosts. We like to consider ourselves as “inn keepers” and do everything we can to take great care of our guests. To date, we've hosted over 1,700 guests. Relationships are the best part of AirBnB. Our properties are dedicated to guest enjoyment, with huge TVs, great beds, and interesting design.
