    Never once did we feel like we didn't belong here. We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. Basic requirements were met, which for is basically a coffee maker and cooking and eating utensils.

    Comfortable, Clean, and Convenient. We appreciated the quiet neighborhood and easy access to all the things we were in town to see. We would definitely re-book next time we are staying in the area.

    We got this VRBO as a substitute for a hotel room and it was much much more enjoyable, comfortable, and overall great experience than the hotel experience would've been. Very pleased with the experience!

    The location of this home was great for a visit with my daughter on campus; the host provided tons of unexpected extras to make this stay special. There were blankets for watching Christmas movies and games to help us pass the time, then other surprises throughout the house that made us feel welcomed. The living space and kitchen are cozy so it might be tough to accommodate more than 4 people comfortably for a visit/meal. The host was easy to communicate with for any questions before and during our stay. Overall, we loved this home; would definitely stay again!
