6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Overall, we had an acceptable stay, and there are several things this property has going for it. Communication from the host was excellent before and during our stay, check-in was easy, and the checkout process was refreshingly simple. The home was also clean when we arrived. The location is another major plus—it's in a charming neighborhood with convenient access to downtown Opelika, including excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and local shops.That said, prospective guests should know that the home is showing its age and needs maintenance in a few areas. Most noticeably, there is a persistent damp, musty odor throughout the house. We also noticed peeling and bubbling paint around several windows, deteriorated grout and caulking in parts of the shower, and grass and landscaping that were quite overgrown when we arrived.None of these issues prevented us from staying here, but they did affect our overall impression of the property. If these maintenance items are addressed, I think this could be a much more enjoyable place to stay because the location, cleanliness, and host communication are all definite strengths.

Perfect Little House

This was the perfect little house to stay in during my weekend in Opelika. It was within a quick walk to downtown. The street is beautiful (I was there when everything was blooming). The house is a little quirky, charming, spotless and well appointed. The owner is super quick to respond to messages. I will stay here again.
