This was the cutest home for my family to stay. Nanette had games and a very well stocked kitchen. The beds and linens were very cozy. She was excellent to communicate with.

Thanks for your feedback — we’re glad the home could accommodate your stay while you were working in the area. We understand that daytime noise can be more noticeable for guests on a third-shift schedule, and we’re sorry if that impacted your rest. We appreciate you choosing our home and hope it was a comfortable place to unwind after work.
The house was clean, the location was great with a park a few blocks away. The beds were relatively comfortable. There is a tenant in the basement with a door that leads up into the main house. The door is locked, but it was slightly uncomfortable.

Nice neighborhood
Except for host not communicating well and kinda dirty, it was a nice house. No washer/dryer but laundromat down the road was very neat and clean. There is a renter downstairs but didn’t hear anything from them. Otherwise it was ok.

They're sorry to hear communication fell short during your stay and have discussed improvements with their Guest Contact to ensure faster, more helpful responses. We understand the owner will continue to offer to stop by and address guest concerns. The home is cleaned before every guest's arrival. The team has been asked to review their checklist each and every time to make sure nothing is overlooked.
