We had a great visit and appreciated all the amenities at this house! They thought of everything and were very easy to reach. I would highly recommend this property. Easy to walk downtown and centrally located. We were 2 familes with 4 kids ranging 3 to 9.

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.
