Great location for graduation weekend, right on campus! The house was super clean and stocked with extra amenities like coffee, detergent, toiletries, and just about anything we might need. The furniture was modern, clean, and comfortable. One note: the queen bed was quite high off the ground, so it may be difficult for shorter guests.The layout was great for hosting our family gathering, with plenty of room to spread out. The weather was unusually cool that week, so we stayed inside most of the time. The deck was nice, but the neighbor’s dogs barked when we were outside. Otherwise, it was a quiet street. The kitchen was well stocked, and everything worked well for our needs.We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it. We only wish we had known about this gem during all our previous stays in T-Town. We would have booked it sooner! Roll Tide!
