    This is a great property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the waters and snacks that were waiting for us upon arrival. Communication with the owner was very easy as was the checkin/checkout process. The house is in a good location to the university. It is walkable (we walked home after the game) but not easy back and forth to campus or shops (not far but definitely not shops or restaurants around the corner). We would definitely stay here again if we are back in Auburn.

    It was so nice to have some extra space to move around and everything we needed was there. I would say having some luggage racks for our suit cases would be great since we cannot put them on the beds to pack and un pack but the hosts are very responsive and location cannot be beat.
