Wonderful stay

The house is clean and nice. Quite little neighborhood far enough out of downtown to be quite but close enough to be very convenient to get to any activity at all the convention centers.

Overall, the interior was clean. The outside needs some attention. The location is very good. Close to shopping, restaurants and the interstate. The neighborhood is quiet and safe.

Surprisingly spacious and clean

Excellent location, "bigger on the inside" house. The only drawback is there's only one bathroom, but it wasn't an issue since I was only staying with one other person. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfy home

Our family stayed at this house for a long weekend. The kitchen was well-stocked for meal prep, the living room was cozy and inviting, the bedrooms were everything we needed. It was easy to stroll around the neighborhood and to visit nearby shops. We would stay again. The dining space is a small space in the kitchen which works well for a couple of people, but is not as well suited for a larger group if you need to do a sit-down meal at a table. Check-in was a breeze and the hosts easy to work with.

Great place to stay

Great location and neighborhood. House was very clean. Nice backyard. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen and bathroom. Overall was a very nice place to stay. Would definitely book here again. A couple of things that I might mention is there is not a railing for the steps to the entrance of the house and the front blinds on the bay window are a bit broken a one missing.

Clean, quiet house - just as advertised

Enjoyed a long weekend here - working part of the time and watching the Drake Relays. The house was lovely - updated and very clean - it looked just like the pictures. The neighborhood was quiet. Was nice to eat at the table on the back deck when it was nice out - limited table seating inside but didn’t affect us. Would stay here again!
