Nice, comfortable, and private spot in a good neighborhood. Close to everything. Homey decor and comfortable bed. Full kitchen, coffee, all you need. Recommended.
Place is very central to town and lots of things accessible such as restaurants and grocery shopping. The expo center and zoo are less than 10 minutes away. Really a great place when you need to be on a trip and still function as a home.

Great place to stay while picking up or dropping off daughter at ACU. I live too far away to do a round trip in one day. This place was perfect for staying near ACU campus!

Private yard, comfortable beds, clean and smelled amazing. Fridge stocked with water. Needs more coffee mugs, but otherwise great for our family attending a Hardin Simmons football game.

We appreciate your feedback about the coffee mugs and will definitely take care of that. It’s wonderful to hear the home worked well for your visit to Hardin-Simmons University. We’d love to host you and your family again anytime!
This is a great alternative to a hotel. We were in town for Abilene Christian University Homecoming to visit our college kid and it was close to campus and very convenient. Good neighborhood, close to restaurants and downtown. The only critical point I would have was the hotwater ran out on our shower about 5 minutes into it which was not a big deal for a man who takes a quick shower but was problematic for my wife and teenager.

About the host
Hosted by Aidan West-Moreno
Why they chose this property
We purchased our home with a small attached apartment that has its own private entrance, and we thought it would be a great opportunity to host guests. We truly enjoy living here and are excited to share that experience with others.
What makes this property unique
Our property stands out because it offers a combination of comfort, privacy, and thoughtful touches that guests value. The attached apartment with its own private entrance gives visitors a sense of independence while still being part of a welcoming home environment.
Its convenient location—especially being close to places like ACU and local dining—makes it practical for travelers, while the cozy, clean, and well-maintained space makes it feel like home rather than just a place to stay. Small details, like providing essentials and creating a comfortable atmosphere, add to the overall experience.
