Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the home and welcome basket added to your experience.
It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime. We also greatly appreciate any referrals to friends or family looking for a cozy stay near the Cargo District!
Great time at this property, the house was clean, easy to check in and out. Location was close to stores and breweries as listed. Would definitely stay here again.
Everything was wonderful. The home is beautiful and well appointed. It is walkable to downtown and the container district. Dawn was a lovely and responsive host. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.
This was a very charming home, obviously loved by the owner. It was cozy and welcoming, and centrally located. We enjoyed our stay and especially loved the welcome basket provided by the host and all the little "extras" that we found throughout the home. We were given nicely detailed information about check in/check out, where things were located to visit, good restaurants to visit and super easy instructions on how to watch TV. Our host was so helpful and answered our questions promptly. We would definitely choose this location and this host again!
We enjoyed having Ronald and his family. They were very responsive and essy to communicate with. The home was respected and left according to house guidelines. We would host them again.
