Cute renovation with fenced in yard

House was cute and had everything we needed but grass needed to be cut. The neighborhood was run down but was fairly quiet and just a short drive to hospital which was very convenient for us. (I would suggest a safety mat in the tub)

Review

The host responded to everything very quickly. We realized that we were not going to be staying as long as our booking, and Seydou was very willing to work with us. He even provided the our preferred laundry detergent. The property was extremely clean and well-kept. I have nothing but good things to say about Seydou and his team!

Just what the Dr ordered

this property is exactly what they said it was. Very beautiful and peaceful just what we needed. We were in the midst of transitioning and my daughter needed the space to rehab. it worked perfectly, she was able to get around easily without restrictions or limitations. the back yard was beautiful and level. didn't get a chance to utilize it or that amazing grill. Maybe another time. I did leave some things unfortunately but that's on me. if u are looking for a home away from home this is your place

Nice house, bad location.

The neighborhood is rough. The house right next door to the property is abandoned and has been for quite some time by the look of it. There are a couple of ‘nicer’ houses in the street, but there are also several abandoned houses bringing down the overall feel of the location. Also a house behind that is just a burnt shell. Several stray dogs running around, so the fence is helpful.The house itself is very nice, completely renovated inside and clean. But we really could only stay in the house, didn’t feel super comfortable being outside.
