The house was as advertised! Great location in relation to Notre Dame. We walked to and from campus. The neighborhood is awesome. Property owners were super responsive. We would stay again!

Thanks for the great review! We’re thrilled the stay went smoothly and would love to host you again soon.
Well equipped and nicely decorated home. Good location in a little neighborhood near Notre Dame. My husband and I stayed four nights and would recommend it to others.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and decor. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again!
Host was very prompt and quick whenever we had a need. We were a group of 4 there for a 3 night stay to take in a Norte Dame game. The house was a perfect walking distance to campus and other activities.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad the house was a perfect spot for your Notre Dame trip. It was a pleasure hosting your group!
Great little place with everything you'd need and extras to enjoy like games, a treadmill work station, laundry, etc. Advertised realistically. Good communication. Close to all the things. Safe neighborhood for walks. Quiet, too.

Thanks for the great feedback. So glad you enjoyed the space and all the extras. Come back anytime!
We traveled from San Francisco to move our daughter into Notre Dame. I stayed a week to help organize and outfit my daughter’s new apartment near campus. This property was the perfect home base! It is spotless, quiet, comfy and a quick drive or pleasant walk to campus. I hope to book it again for my next visit!

Hello Lisa , Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Overall this property is great. Great kitchen facilities with everything you need! Plenty spacious for a family. However, there were a few things that weren’t great. The front walk/porch wasn’t shoveled after the recent snowfall. It made for dangerous conditions getting into the property. Also, the mattress was the hardest mattress I’ve ever slept on. Truly uncomfortable.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the property suited your family and will work on the areas you mentioned.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect as shown in pictures!! It was so close to where we were going on campus and to surroundings to get supplies. Homeowners were in touch before and during stay. Great communication!! Beds were a little hard though and you parked on street. Backyard was great for the kids and we enjoyed being at home there!! It totally made our trip!!
Thanks for an amazing stay!!!

Hello Judi, Thank you for sharing your experience, We look forward to hosting you again!
We had a wonderful stay at Pat and Gary's apartment in Pensacola. BEautiful view of the ocean! The apartment is beautiful and Pat and Gary are tremendous hosts (available, friendly, responsive). The location is excellent (walk to the beach, 3 minute drive to restaurants in town and about a 15 minute drive to downtown pensacola). We totally recommend it! and we hope that we will be back soon!
