Great location — easy walking distance to all the shopping, restaurants, and bars on South Congress. The place was clean and just as described. It didn’t have a lot of extra amenities, but it worked perfectly for our needs and was a convenient home base for our trip.

Awesome location! Easy walk to great restaurants on 1st and Congress, such a fun area to explore. Easy check-in and prompt answer from management when we called with a question. The property is a bit worn in spots, but very clean with plenty of linens/blankets, towels, and kitchen amenities. Sound readily carries from the common area into one of the bedrooms, but it's ok for a group on the same sleep schedule. Our family was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

This home was very clean, attractive and in a safe, fun neighborhood. We were so close to great food and attractions. All of the beds were really comfortable, which is important when you're away from home. The owners were very responsive and helpful.
Wonderful home and property with room for everyone! Two big screens, lovely and private outdoor patio space, full sized kitchen, and short walk to South Congress and cool neighborhoods!
