We were in Lafayette for a fashion show and this home and its amenities were just as it was listed, lovely! Very quiet neighborhood w minimal traffic in spite of it being in a residential area. Large backyard yard was nice for our dog too! We would rebook this listing again. Communication with our host was phenomenal!
