This place was small, but exactly what we needed — a comfy spot to crash and shower after busy days out and about. It was spotless, and our host thought of everything… toiletries, snacks, and a ton of coffee pods (it’s like they knew we were coming!). The location was great, too. We were within walking distance to the Riverwalk and we could explore the shops, restaurants, and all the fun downtown vibes. The neighborhood was calm and quiet - which was *exactly* what we needed after the crowds during the local festival. We’d happily stay here again the next time we’re in town visiting family!

Welcome to the World, sweet baby G

My husband and I had a 3 week extended stay at this cozy place which is just perfect for two. We were fortunate to stay at this place to welcome our granddaughter to world and help our daughter and son in law start their new life as a family of three. Its location, in a beautiful historic neighborhood, is centrally located to walk to many places including the Riverfront The hosts are great and very responsive to any questions or needs. We highly recommend this place.
