The TV only worked half the time. There was no closet or hooks, it is a good thing I travel with my own over door hooks. Shelf in the kitchen was small and hard to work on top of, plus there were no drawers to put things away. Needs a porch swing or patio furniture. I loved the decor and felt safe. I loved the off street parking

Cute little house tucked away in a nice neighborhood

This little efficiency was great for my needs while visiting in Abilene. Everything worked, and the bathroom was fine. I did some limited food preparation without any problems. Comfortable furniture and cute table to put books or papers on. I would stay there again.

It was just ok. Wish that I would have just paid a little more and got a hotel rm. The shower was tiny, very poor lighting in the bathroom, the a/c couldn't keep up during the day, ran non-stop to keep it around 78, set at 71. Thought that it had a full size fridge, Had to buy a bag of ice each day and keep in my ice chest. Oh, the bed is way to high off the floor, you have to jump to get in and out. Glad that my girlfriend was not able to join me.

Check in was a fiasco. Place was not cleaned. I had been traveling since 2am and was not able to check in on time due to place not being cleaned from previous quests. B&B hosting did communicate very well with me and relocated and upgraded me with no charge to a much nicer place very quickly
