One night stay in Frederick on our way back north. The place was just far enough off the main restaurant and bar areas but close enough to walk everywhere. Bedrooms were both well appointed as was the rest of the house. We loved the location and had hoped to use the hot tub but got back too late to make it work. Next time. Thanks for everything Laura.

The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. Walkable to town. Great communication with owner. Strict about check in and check out times. I was very surprised about the additional mandatory insurance charge of 89. I feel that should have been disclosed earlier in the booking process and that VRBO is falsely advertising when they say the price includes all fees.

So many great things to say about this property!On a beautiful tree lined street wedged between the hospital (no noise) and Hood College, this classic 1915 duplex was ideal for our visit to Frederick last weekend. Only a few blocks off Market St. you are within walking distance of everything you may need. Cute stores, great bars, and plenty of great eating spots. The house is in impeccable condition.It's an upstairs apartment with an outside backyard entrance. If you have mobility issues this may not be the right choice. The apartment itself is two floors so there is an interior staircase as well. One of the greatest things about houses of this time and quality is how soundproof they are. Charmingly decorated and well stocked you feel like your staying at a friend's house while they are out of town. AC was great. Bathrooms are great. Kitchen was great. Bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. Meticulously clean. I will definately stay here again on my next trip. Only one word of warning. Pay attention to the owners instructions regarding parking. We had no issues but it's easy to see problems if you're not paying attention.

Awesome apartment for Girl's Weekend
Lovely 2-bedroom, 2 bath apartment close to downtown Frederick. Wonderful, responsive hosts. Apartment was exactly as described. Beds were comfy and bathrooms/kitchen looked newly renovated. Backyard patio was perfect - hot tub, fire pit and table/chairs. The record player was a fun touch! Parking was free and easy to find. Would definitely recommend.

Clean and on a cute street
Overall great stay. Place was clean and offered a lot of helpful amenities. I was grateful that Laura allowed our two pet rabbits to stay with us, and the bunnies did well (meaning they felt safe too). One note is that the mattresses were much firmer than we're used to and like. Otherwise we had a blast and really appreciated how Laura checked in with us and made sure we were comfortable and didn't need anything.

Convenient charming downtown apartment
We had a great stay in this beautiful downtown Frederick apartment. The location was wonderful and so convenient to shops, coffee shops, Baker Park, Hood college and more. Laura was very helpful and quickly answered any questions we had. The apartment is very well appointed and looks just like the pictures. The home is older and there is a bit of wonkiness but that only added to the charm in our opinion. Note there is a flight of stairs to enter the home. We would definitely stay there again if we return to Frederick

Great, clean duplex in a safe neighborhood
We liked this property best of the options that were available for our dates and we are so glad we stayed here. The property owner was extremely responsive to a couple of minor issues. My sister and I loved the separation of space. Lots of natural light and individual heating/AC units in each of the major rooms. It was walking distance to a fantastic park and walking area. The access was fairly steep stairs that was a bit challenging for heavy suitcases. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.
