Claudia was extremely easy to work with , very friendly and accommodating- the house is very cutely decorated, there are 5 bedrooms that are comfortable and clean but not big she did a great job utilizing every square inch of the house I would recommend staying here !
Overall my stay was great. Claudia's communication was on point and she was very accommodating. I did not see a pool, hot tub or workout area as per the listing. I didn't need any of that but there could be confusion for someone who might. The air conditioning kept the 1st floor very cool but the upstairs remained warm. I purchased my own toilet paper because the one ply that was provided just wasn't working. Otherwise, I had a great stay and would rent again.
Great place for a football weekend with some friends and their kids. The location is on a quiet street and walkable to the University. Very close to Corby’s. The place was clean. Very nice furniture. Nice comfortable memory foam beds. Plenty of bedroom space for a group. Plenty of places to dine and hangout. The kitchen was well stocked and the coffee maker was nice. Overall one of the best game weekend places we’ve rented.

We drove five hours to get to South Bend and asked for a possible 3 PM check-in we were told no we would only be able to check in at 4 PM. The regular check in time. Then later message saying it would be 5 PM and the people were still cleaning. We were able to drop off bags, but we’re not able to access anything in the house and finally at 7:50. I messaged host and she said they were cleaners were leaving. Looking for compensation of 200 due to disturbance of stay with four hour late check-in which was unacceptable. Host said it was due to previous gas, but that was not our problem and we deserve to be compensated.

Thank you for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the delayed check-in and understand how frustrating that must have been after a long drive.
Unfortunately, the previous guests caused significant damage and left the home in a condition that required extended cleaning and repairs to ensure the property was safe and up to standard for your stay. I kept you updated as best as possible throughout and allowed early bag drop while the team worked to complete everything.
I also offered compensation for the inconvenience, as I always strive to be fair and take care of my guests. Situations like this are rare, but ensuring the home was properly prepared for you was my top priority.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to provide the best possible experience for future guests.
