The stay was really good for what my group needed. The space is good for 2-6 people. The space just needed a tad more cleaning throughout. I would say a bit more furniture as well like a coffee table and more pillows for the bed.

Our stay was wonderful. Everything was perfect with the house. A bathroom downstairs and an extra mirror are the only things that could make this house better but we made it all work and are very pleased with our stay!

Concert Night

The house was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and there was a nice space for visiting and watching TV. The neighborhood was quiet and the host was very responsive. I would definitely use this place again if the need arose.

The house smelt horrible when you walked in. We had to open the doors to try and air it out. Shower curtain in the bathroom had many mystery stains, same with the blankets in the queen bedroom. The towels were all left in the dryer for us to have to find and the dishes were left in the dishwasher for us to unload from a previous guest. The microwave was disgusting. Overall just lacked standard comfort. No extra pillows or blankets for the bedrooms. Also if you have a one bath house that accommodates six, you may want to put mirrors in the bedrooms so people can get ready outside of the bathroom.

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 boys ages 16 and 11) had a great stay here! Not a lot of extras (bring your own soap and shampoo) but it was a good location in a safe neighborhood.

Property is located near airport which was convenient for our needs. House was as described with 3 beds and 1 small bathroom. Pillows could be better and have more mirror options throughout house for others to be getting ready. Door hinges on doors are squeaky. Overall - clean place for the evening.
