Spacious living room and large king size beds in both bedrooms feel like them both feel like master rooms. Nice big showers as well. Went to Huey's bar and restaurant next door and they had good burgers and live music during the day
This place is perfectly located between downtown and Midtown. Doesn't hurt that there was a crawfish festival literally a block from our door. Plenty of great restaurants and walkable streets. Clean and comfortable. Will definitely be coming back!
The house is in a terrific location, walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, night life, Overton Park. It is very well set up and the kitchen is wonderful and well-equipped. Hosts respond almost instantly. Thanks!
Host was very easy to reach. The place was very nice with newly remodeled kitchen and bath. Parking was easy, located behind the building. You could hear the people upstairs walking around late at night or early in the morning But other than that it was very quiet. Perfect location, Overton Square down the street. Cooper Young arts and entertainment district nearby. 5 min drive to Rhodes which is what we were there for. Less than that for the zoo. I would stay there again without hesitation.
My siblings and our significant others came into town for a wedding event. This was a great location for proximity to the venue and our family. It fit us all great and we were all able to easily get ready and have space to hang out together during our stay. We were some of the first people to stay here, and that was felt in some small ways, like in finding the bedding for the sleeper sofa easily. I messaged on the platform and got some help finding it right away. So in total this was very small, and I'm sure that will all get more consistent and communicated clearly up front.
The house was very clean. And the host went above and beyond with the communication, being very clear with the messages and replying very quickly. Great experience.
