Pretty much perfect. Clean, great host, good A/C -- close to Hickory. Yet on a quiet, private street. Plenty of parking.If you book this you will love it!
I loved the location, kinda country setting. Quiet, right off the highway. The place was overall nice and clean. They supplied a few small bags of chips, water, and laundry detergent, which i thought was really nice. I'd definitely recommend and stay again if i came back.
Very clean. Clear instructions about procedures. Nice snacks. Easy access with door code. Nice layout of rooms. Spacious bedroom. Split HVAC units worked great. No complaints.

Thank you for the review, and thank you for being a great guest. We hope to host you again in the future! :D
Great stay, especially for the price point! You can’t get a hotel at this price/condition. Upon arrival, we were struck by the rental’s spaciousness and cleanliness!! It had everything we needed and the host was communicative. As host indicated in listing, the neighborhood setting is rural. However, it’s close to major roadways and we were pleased with location to downtown Hickory, South Mountain, etc.
The property was as listed. The only thing that I would recommend would be a new mattress and new couch. Both were a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise all was well.
