This is a lovely rental. Very well equipped and furnished. The reason for 4 star rating I wish it had an outdoor space/patio. I did like that it was so close to main streets which made it very accessible to travel and return.

Fantastic!

This home was perfect for our extra out-of-town family to stay in during a funeral. The house had everything we needed, and it was so quiet. Also, the AC worked great. It was literally 5 minutes from our house.

In town for a funeral

We did not have space to stay with family, and a hotel seemed too generic. This house fit the bill for lounging spaces, bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchen space for us. Would recommend this quiet little house again!

House was perfect for us and mother-in-law. Very clean and well appointed. Convenient but quiet neighborhood. Pop 2 blocks over to Jester which takes you to 610 and I-10 and on to Washington Heights area. Easy! Owner responds within 24-hrs. Access to house also easy. The sunroom off back of home was perfect for morning coffee. Master bedroom has king bed and with no windows made for a great sleep. Other beds were lovely also. Nice bathrooms. Highly recommend!

The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. The owner wasn't responsive on vrbo. I asked a question and didn't get a response. I had to call the Vrbo customer service line, but they weren't helpful either. I'll recommend that the owner provide detailed instructions on how to open and close the lockbox. No instruction was provided. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
