We had a great stay at this VRBO! The property was very clean, in an excellent location, and exactly as described. Nicole was a wonderful host—she communicated clearly before and during our stay, making everything easy and stress-free. We really appreciated how responsive and helpful she was. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at El Verde Escape. Nicole & Bill were quick to answer any questions we had. They supply the house well with everything you could possibly need. There’s a wonderful place called Chance Bar within walking distance. We expected to just stop in for a drink & were pleasantly impressed with the food options so we stayed for dinner. Corey & Ben run an excellent upscale eatery. El Verde was very close to all that downtown has to offer.

We really enjoyed staying in this home for our Thanksgiving trip. It’s got the perfect mix of historic charm and modern updates, especially in the kitchen, which had everything we needed to heat up our Thanksgiving dinner. The house is small, cozy, and just right for our dogs, who loved exploring the yard and going on walks around the nearby elementary school.Our stay also felt a bit nostalgic since my husband’s 85-year-old uncle, who came with us, used to go to Harrison Hill School right across the street. It made the visit even more meaningful.There was plenty of parking, lots of natural light throughout the house, and everything was clean and in working order. Nicole was a super accommodating host. We’d definitely stay here again on our next trip to Fort Wayne.

I appreciated how responsive the host was throughout our stay. However, I felt the property was not accurately represented in the listing. Although it was described as non-smoking, there was a strong and noticeable odor of smoke upon arrival, suggesting prior smoking in the home. Additionally, there were several safety concerns that ultimately made the stay feel inconsistent with the price paid.
