Great stay! Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. I did buy cleaning spray and toilet paper, but this was EXACTLY what my kids and me needed. There are two queen beds, but the couch folds out into a full so there was room for all of us to have our own space. 10/10 recommend!!!
No dish washing soapNo saltDoor was not locked when we arrived checked closets and under bed to make sure no one as hidingGarbage bins not marked ie recycle/garbage , garbage was in bothKitchen sink dirty when we arrived
This was our 2nd stay at this property and we will stay again so that should speak for itself. It's not perfect but it absolutely meets all our needs. It's very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is being updated as houses are being turned over and renovated but we felt completely safe. It's very quiet and peaceful. The location works very well for us to visit family in Lafayette and Opelousas. Beds are very comfortable. The full kitchen is decently stocked. Cabinets and drawers are original and homemade but functional. Local water is sulphury so we use bottled water for drinking. The tub/shower arrangement is not ideal due to the window location and the shower curtains puddle in the bottom of the tub. A/C works great! Parking area and access ways flood temporarily after a very heavy rain. Having a washer & dryer is wonderful! We met the owner this time and he was very nice. We rented it for 12 days this time, We'll be back!
The cottage is charming. Out the kitchen window is a pretty view of the large backyard. The neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen is stocked better than many airbnb's. If you plan to cook though, you'll need to bring your own spices, oil, etc. Which isn't a problem for me. I always do that anyways. At night the kitchen could use more lighting near the cabinets. It's a bit dark.The two bedrooms both have their own tv's, which is nice. The beds are very firm. My son was fine with his, but my husband and I went out and bought a mattress topper to soften it a bit since we were staying for 10 days.The living room has a small leather couch that will seat two people and a large tv. My only real complaint would be the couch. It was very uncomfortable. We like to watch tv in the evenings and relax, and it wasn't relaxing. Also a comfortable reading chair would be amazing. Something to put my feet up on.It was a good price and the host always answered in a timely manner.
Great location between Lafayette & Opelousas with easy access. Very clean and decently stocked w/ dishes, pots, pans, & utensils. Fully furnished kitchen. Well stocked with bath tissue, dish & laundry soap, coffee pods, & other amenities. Good quality paper goods, linens, & towels. Full sized washer & dryer were great. Central A/C & ceiling fans in bedrooms were very nice. Beds were VERY comfortable (headboards?). Lots of closets. Overall layout is very efficient & works well. Neighborhood was very quiet. New faucets in the bathroom & kitchen sinks! We enjoyed having a full-sized tub - more on that later. We slept well there & will definitely try to stay there again when in the area!As much as we liked it, some areas for improvement but no deal-breakers: The water is sulfury so we had some rust stained hot water in the tub the 1st couple of days with a slight sulfury smell. We bought bottled water to use for drinking, cooking, & ice. Consider putting a 5-gal bubbler in the kitchen. Tub/Shower arrangement is difficult/awkward. Curtains drag in the bottom of the tub - potential hazard to shower & nuisance for bathing. Very limited bathroom storage for personal items and toiletries. Add a small, inexpensive standing shelf in the corner. Add a small corner shelf above sink. Add towel hooks over locked door. After very heavy rain, water pooled around car near back door. Kitchen cabs stick or don't latch. Kitchen drawers need help.VRBO very responsive! We'll be back!
