Nice place to stay
Very nice and clean accommodations. The only issues were the delay in the check in process and a strong seafood smell from the previous guest. The property was located close to the stadium and easy to find. I would recommend for short stays and would return for a weekend stay.

Family get away
We enjoyed our stay. The home was cozy and comfortable for a quick little getaway to rest, relax and reset. The only issue was the beds could have been a bit more comfy. Other than that, it was nice. The house looks exactly like the pictures and I love the decor. It speaks loudly about the owner who was very responsive when we reached out.

The house was very clean. Neighborhood was not bad at all, we had no problems with neighbors. They were actually very nice and friendly. The only thing I would say that could improve was the front fence be a little higher for the dogs.Other than that we had no issues with the place or the landlord. She is helpful with info or any issues. Would stay here again.

Accurate and convenient
Everything was pretty accurate and with modern conveniences that were fantastic, but sofa needs to be replaced. Also, like most properties with hard wood flooring, polish or dust mite/flea should be used to make sure the floor is clean and doesn't cause itching.

Place was clean and well kept. Host was very quick to respond when needed. Only complaint is the location because of a train that would come every 30 min and a neighbor had a loud party one night.

Short stay
Well we didn’t stay as long as we planned on because 3 weeks before our stay I broke my back and have been in a significant amount of pain so the visit was cut short. Plus one of the people stay had a medical emergency with his mother and couldn’t come. So my gal friend and I enjoyed a girls night coloring hair and sipping wine. Great to spend time together.
Parking was confusing and parked in the street. The area was very quiet but the neighborhood was a bit scary for a country gal. The house was adorable and very well decorated. Nice kitchen and the beds very comfortable. The air conditioning was fantastic and set at a nice temperature. Ceiling fans in most of the rooms made for a nice open air feel.
A few hiccups in the checking in process due to unanswered messages and voicemails. Judith told us that she doesn’t give information for entrance to the home until 2 hours prior to checking in which seemed late to me and could cause some anxiety about that process. Overall a good experience and a great comfortable home.
