Great place to stay. Super clean. Host is very responsive. I was very impressed with how the host is running this one unit like a little hotel. Even a booklet to make the guests feel right at home. Very well done! Full 5-star rating from us!

Nice place to stay

Brand new and tidy basement house, very quiet neighborhood with convenient transportation.It should be newly renovated, so some of the smell has not dissipated yet. The overall physical examination was pretty good, and the host thoughtfully prepared a variety of drinks and snacks.

Almost like a boutique hotel. Almost.

Host must have a degree in Hospitality or in Business. The place is so well organized and operated, even down to the little booklet to explain the features of the rental and what to do in the neighborhood. Room is very clean, has everything you need if you feel like cooking a simple meal, and the host is very responsive to IMs if you have questions. The best short term rental I have ever been to. Five stars across the board!

Clean and easy to access

The place was very clean! had everything you need, the host was always available. I couldn’t work the table top stove so just used microwave. Having the toaster oven was a plus. Hot tub was nice to have, my son enjoyed that the most. There is a grocery store right around the corner and a couple restaurants and everything is close by. Two negatives would be if you’re a light sleeper not for you, as you are in a basement of a home. And the other would be the plumbing issues and not being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet. We made it work though. Other than that no complaints, very modern and was happy with our stay. Christina and Gio

Firstly the property description clearly states this is a basement apartment and we live upstairs. Secondly there were no plumbing issues during your stay. Utilizing the trash can and not flushing toilet paper to avoid clogged drains is a house rule. Thank you!
