#Habituehomes - Elm Grove Elegance

The neighborhood is lovely & centrally located. House was clearly old and redone on the inside, but didn’t feel super clean & there was a noticeable sour smell coming from the dirty washing machine. When we arrived it was dark & no outdoor lights were on and could find no working backyard light for dogs. Backyard was a mess and had no outdoor light - host never responded when we asked about this and other issues. Would stay in the neighborhood again but not this property.

It was a fine location and place to stay for 6 days. Plenty of room for our party. The place was stocked appropriately. We bought coffee filters and left them; bought sandwich baggies, there were out. Saran wrap and/or aluminum foil were available I believe. TV is smart tv - only streaming is available and you will need to use your own logons. We did not use the patio or grill. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. The tub mats were in the upstairs bathroom sink drawer - the downstairs bathroom did not have one. I would suggest all guest use them. The tub gets slippery. My only critique is the house had a closed-up smell to it, I would suggest a deep clean or air freshener throughout. There was an essential oil diffuser in the cabinet in the kitchen that helped, but it was not a great scent. Additionally, there are six lights I believe in the ceiling in the kitchen - one of them flickers. We left the lights off after noticing. I would suggest fixing that. Also, it would appear the kitchen floor is not mopped regularly as our socks were pretty dirty after walking on it for a few hours. We arrived a little more than an hour early of check-in and the host was gracious enough to let us in early. It was much appreciated since we were from out of state and had already had a 10 hour day. Overall, I would recommend this place to others.

Pros: This property was well stocked and well maintained and communications were handled kindly and efficiently. It is also in an great location, especially for families. We like that there was firewood available (wrong season for us) and a BBQ there to use. Cons: Unfortunately for our family of 7, we had to utilize the loft bedroom. It was very hot, noisy and bright. We also had an incident where we were locked out of the kids room and had to go to the store to buy a special tool to get it open. The management was quick to reply when contacted, but they had no idea how to unlock the doors. They must supply something for a situation like that.

Impressively clean and well kept. All amenities were nicely arranged Appliances were new or in good working condition. Host was imminently accessible.

The place had everything we needed! Will hope to stay again.

It was nice to be back in Boise and see old friends in our old neighborhood. Place was nice, clean, and in a great location.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed the location of this property, especially being right across the street from a beautiful park! The communication with the host was awesome, too!

We came in with our adult children to attend a wedding for some family friends. Spent a couple of nights and everything about the property was terrific. Perfect amount of communication from the owners and the check-in and out process was super simple. We'll definitely stay again if we're in the Boise area!

House was very clean, nice neighborhood. Appointed very well. Beds and pillows were amazing! Everything was close by.. Even a 24 hour Gym that offers daily passes! When I get back to Boise I am staying here!!! Loved it.
