Thank you so much for your feedback & for sharing your experience with us
We’re really glad to hear you had a good stay overall, that truly means a lot
We sincerely apologize about the pull-out couch and mattress condition, that’s definitely not the experience we want for you 😕 we’re already addressing this with our team to ensure it’s fully fixed, cleaned, and replaced if needed so future stays are much more comfortable
Your feedback really helps us improve & we appreciate you pointing this out
We’d love the chance to host you again & provide a full 5-star experience next time from start to finish
The place was amazing. We celebrated my 21st Birthday here and had a blast. 10/10 experience. Super spacious.

Thank you & happiest 21st again! So glad you had a blast & that the space worked perfectly for your celebration 😃 Would love to host you again anytime you're back in the area!
It was great to have a private garage, safe place to park. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. Let’s of space to spread out and relax. Being that there is 3 levels with bedrooms on all it would have been nice to have ceiling fans to better accommodate everyone’s temperature liking. For the top to be comfortable the bottom was cold. But that is the only downside to this beautiful property.

We also truly appreciate your feedback about the temperature differences across the levels, that’s super helpful for us and something our team is already looking into to make the home even more comfortable for everyone

We’d love to host you again anytime & feel free to share your experience with friends or family who’d enjoy the space just as much 🌿

This place is fine if you want a party house. It had clearly just been used as one and smelled like marijuana. There were a lot of scuffs, scratches, chipped paint, and marker on the walls. No dish soap, no wine glasses.I had booked this for my family coming in town for my son’s 5th birthday. My parents have mobility issues and the host said they would be fine in this place as there is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. Well there is a bedroom with BUNKBEDS on the first floor and nothing else. Steep steps up to the kitchen and living room with the primary bedroom, which is what I thought was the first floor… and then stairs down to another bedroom and tv and couch. Not worth the price at all even if my parents did not have the mobility issues or the place did not smell like weed. It seems like there was just a huge party they just quickly cleaned up after. Disappointed and did not even stay. Would not book any places from this group again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We take your concerns very seriously, and we want to address them with the utmost care.
It’s never our intention to provide anything less than the highest standard of cleanliness, and we will be following up with our team to ensure this is immediately addressed. Rest assured, we take these matters seriously and will work to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved for future guests.
We deeply regret that the layout didn’t work well for your family, especially given your parents' mobility needs. We understand how important it is for everyone to feel comfortable, and we’ll be more diligent in communicating the specific features and layout of the property to avoid any confusion in the future.
Awesome experience. We rented this property for my mother's 65th birthday. Just a quick staycation. While our stay was not perfect, the experience itself trumps anything that may not have been perfect. Communication was amazing. Very open and helpful. The property itself was beautiful. Tons of room, air conditioning was amazing, adequate parking for a small group, but I could see challenges for a larger group.The location was amazing as well as you have access to points of interest in the city. We would absolutely stay at this property again.
