    The place had everything we needed. It was clean. What was great was that we have two small dogs, and the backyard was perfect to let them out. It was fenced, well-lit, and had a nice patio to walk out onto. Plus the Butter Bakery down the street had awesome biscuits.

    This unit is the lower floor of a duplex with a shared basement and stairs that go right to your back door. That was not on the description and due to the age of the home the floorboards creaked, and voices carried from the upstairs guests all day and night. We left early. The company admitted they did not include that info on the description so were planning to adjust the writeup, but did not give us a refund. The place is clean however I would make sure you don't need quiet if you book here.

    The close proximity to Lakewood cemetery was the reason we chose this house. It was perfect for our extended family to gather right after the ceremonies, being only about a mile away. It made it easy to keep folks together a bit before they traveled on. The rest of the days the 3 of us stayed were very comfortable and relaxing in this home. We loved having coffee in the front sun room in the morning.

    The only complaint, I would have is, it said free parking, I took that to mean parking on the property, but there wasn’t. Other than that it was a great rental.

    The home itself was cute, clean, spacious. The rules were simple and fair. Checking in and out was easy and hassle-free. Kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I missed having was a meat thermometer. The pictures to help with taking care of clean dishes was very helpful. I did find mold in the shower. Showering was awkward and difficult due to the shower head being located on the long side of the tub, and it was fixed to one position. We had to stagger showers in order to have enough hot water for all of us. I did have trouble feeling safe in the area. With pan- handlers on the same block, graffiti and litter all over, it felt a little more rough than I'm comfortable with. The doors with simple locks and what could have been easy enough access to the tenants in the other unit in the house.

    Loved location…around the corner from our son and daughter-in-law. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for entertaining. We did have trouble with tv in living room. Trouble with figuring out how to use and when we thought we had it…no signal. Would have appreciated more info. Would have been a perfect 5 except for trouble with tv

    The rooms were great and the house was perfect. The only issues we had were the parking in front of the house. On arrival, there was very little space in front.

    The house was well appointed with everything we needed. The backyard was beautiful and cozy with comfortable patio furniture and string lights. We loved the walkable location as well.
