Very pet friendly. Host was super accommodating. Had snacks and drinks. Dog toys. Was very impressed wi the location. We were 5 mins away from everything we wanted to do.
Great communication and nice place that the host obviously put time into making special. My daughter loved the kids corner. Only thing that would make it better would be blackout curtains. Thanks again!
This was an absolute win. I enjoyed the location, and home was very welcoming. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet. The price was fair when compared to hotels in the same area. I would definitely stay here again. Lindy was an amazing host.
Property photos and description is accurate - it's a cute home in a well-established neighborhood that's been nicely remodeled, and felt clean and tidy. Lindy was very responsive and helpful!
