The location was perfect- close to the downtown area in a walkable neighborhood. We appreciated the host being very helpful addressing a couple minor issues with the property when we first arrived.
The house was clean and had everything you may need to during your stay. The location was fantastic for hanging out on the square in downtown McKinney!
This house is the perfect location to walk to the square! It’s on a very nice, quiet street. It’s decorated so cute & Aaron was an excellent host. The few questions we had were answered so quickly and he was so accommodating. We loved the rocking chairs on the front porch too. Overall, great experience!
Such a great stay for our weekend in north Dallas for a baseball tournament. Plenty of space, location is excellent for getting to downtown McKinney which had so many great options for eating, coffee shops and some shopping. Hostess was so easy to communicate with, I’d love to stay here again!
Loved the spaciousness, w 4 adults, we each had our own space and privacy. The location was ideal for walking to the shops and restaurants. We were very confortable and well taken care of by the host.
This was a great place for us. We had a few friends wanting an overnight stay to celebrate a birthday and the location was nice. It was well stocked with the basics, beds were comfy, everything was clean and we had no problems.

Aaron was great from the get go. Communication was top notch and that house was great. Right next to downtown McKinney with a ton of great food options and very friendly neighborhood.
