• Birthday weekend family gettaway

  5/5

  This was the best place for our family to gather! The kids Calle sit the “cozy house” because it was warm and they loved the love sac bean-bag! Great kitchen set up and awesome rooms lay out. Beds were comfortable and good location to getting to things around town! Little bit of a rougher neighborhood but doors locked good. Side door was a little drafty and cold but as long as kitchen entry door was closed we stayed warm.

• Decent stay

  3/5

  This house is a great size for around 8-10 people. Not incredibly friendly for elderly as there are no handrails or bedrooms on the first floor (my fault for not checking). Thankfully it was great weather (no ice or snow).

  The neighborhood is definitely not that safe, I was uncomfortable walking to my car by myself, especially in the dark. You can only fit about 2 cars in the driveway and the rest is street parking.

  The house was mostly as the pictures described, rooms are nice and spacious. There was a cute little fireplace that made the living room more cozy to sit.

  Hi Ariana, we’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious rooms and cozy fireplace, but we're sorry some aspects fell short of expectations. After sending your feedback to the homeowner, they wanted to share the following:
  
  – While the home maintains its original charm, the stairs can present challenges due to their older design. Hand railings are in place on both sets of indoor stairs, and we’re working with a contractor to add railings to the exterior side entries, weather permitting.
  
  – As we've noted before, the house is situated in a downtown area that's being revitalized, which can come with obstacles. To prioritize guest comfort and safety, we have cameras monitoring the exterior of the property. We’re also planning to upgrade the doors to improve security and reduce noise.
  
  Thank you for sharing your experience. Your input helps us continue improving for future guests.

  Was a great place to stay. The neighborhood was not good though. Ended up having a robbery/homicide across the street

  The house is decent for being an older home (normal expectations for an older home), but the neighborhood was a bit sketchy day and night and especially at night when coming home from the bar. We definitely were not comfortable walking anywhere from the house. House however was clean and comfortable, except the upstairs bathroom had a funky smell. I think the shower curtain needs to be washed.

  5/5

  My friends and I got this place to stay for a wedding. I'm thankful I could take the dog with since we went hiking at the nearby state parks. The location was great: not far from restaurants or stores we needed to stop at. The AC was out, and they had a portable AC unit that worked really well! My friend successfully worked from the apartment on Friday without problem. Only regret is that we didn't take the chance to use the fire pit. Thankful for a nice, clean place to hang out with my friends and get ready for the wedding
