The VRBO is very well located near downtown Boise, in a quiet and lovely neighborhood. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was well appointed, including things you often don't get in a VRBO - like a dishwasher and garbage disposal. We would definitely stay there again.

Easily one of the cleanest properties in which I've stayed (and I am a 'neat-freak', so my bar is pretty high). Close / walking distance to tons of great cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops, museums, river walk etc.

Everything was exactly as expected- comfortable beds, an adequate kitchen. The location was perfect; we walked downtown several times. The floors were a bit creaky, but that was expected in a house this old. Thank you!

Great getaway for two

The old home was very charming. My wife and I stayed for four nights and enjoyed every minute of it, despite daily rain showers. We enjoyed our coffee each morning in the little nook and planned our day. Most days, we walked all over downtown and found all sorts of fun places to spend time. It's such a clean city. The owners checked on us via message and were exceptionally welcoming. When the time comes, we will return to this home again!

Had to cancel at last minute

Didn't stay there. VRBO said pet friendly. Property owner said no to pets. Was helping daughter move from New York with 2 pets to Washington State. We didn't notice property only took service animals until the day before. We had one service animal and one other pet.It was an expensive rental. Gave us $25 back. We felt ripped off.
