Beautiful house for 4 people, roomy and nicely decorated. Many amenities included such as coffee, bathroom shampoo and toothbrushes, and a great kitchen fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, coffee makers, etc. Our only drawback was the shower which was in a converted claw bathtub (very contemporary with the house) but difficult to negotiate). We did enjoy our stay!!!

Great location!

This is a lovely old home in a quiet and pretty neighborhood. The proximity to the track at Boise High was a lot of fun on a warm summer evening.
