Cozy. House was very clean and host was very helpful. We entire process was accommodating. Easy check-in, the house had everything we needed (linens, towels, cooking items, TVs were exceptional, etc. ).

I really wanted to give this beautiful bungalow 5 stars. Everything was absolutely perfect, except location. This house is a beauty. I absolutely adored the vintage furniture and decor. The king size bed was so comfy right down to the sheets and pillows. There is a really great coffee shop just 4 or 5 houses away. The house sits right beside a very busy market. This may be an added bonus for others. We heard a lot of sirens late into the night. I am not sure if this is typical of the area. Landon was great, very hands off but communication is very clear and responds quickly. Overall, we had a wonderful time and if a busy city is your thing, I highly recommend.
