We enjoyed our stay here. The property is very convenient. It’s a quiet working class neighborhood. Be sure to drive a few blocks over and see the stunning homes nearby. We felt very safe and had easy access to main roads. I would definitely stay here again.

The area is an older area but a nice, quiet and clean neighborhood. The house is spacious and plenty of sleeping space for the whole family. The kitchen is small and not stocked very well so bring all the things you need if you don’t eat out a lot. Communication with the owners was great and the check in check out process was easy. I would stay here and recommend it to anyone.

Quiet and peaceful stay

We stayed in this cottage for 2 nights as we were on a family road trip. Plenty of space and had everything we needed during our stay. The neighborhood is peaceful quiet, just minutes away from downtown with lots of shopping and many food choices! I would book this cottage if we visit Waco again.
