Stay in Gary

We enjoyed our visit to Gary. The property was very nice and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Not an area for dining or shopping, but quick access to the whole city. Weren’t able to control the thermostat and didn’t figure out the alarm system right away, but really enjoyed the game room and televisions. Overall, a very enjoyable and positive experience. Thanks.

Very Very Nice!

My family traveled for a birthday party (not at the home) the rental had enough room for us all the game room kept the teens off their phones and the natural light was a great mood starter every morning! We wanted it a little warmer and once we contacted the host, it was fixed immediately. The kitchen was very up to date with an ice maker. It was a true home away from home.

Wedding stay

Property is lovely. Neighborhood is nice, well kept and quiet. Train runs through at the end of the block, but we barely noticed it. The house is immaculate and very well equipped. Landlord is very understanding and patient. There was a minor misunderstanding over the # of guests staying and all the equipment brought in. The bride & groom did the whole wedding by themselves. All in all a great place to relax. Thanks Jasmine

The property was generally clean. However, There was a press-on nail next to the blender and the kitchen counters, stove too, and microwave were not cleaned or sanitized. I let the host know and he apologized. The kitchen is ill prepared for anyone who cooks, and with a large family, it was kind of like camping. . My husband and I had many fits of giggles while trying to prepare meals for our family. The house is old and has a lot of character. My kids and husband loves the pacman arcade game and fooseball. The beds were comfortable. The decor was trendy… and my kids thought the lighting was ‘fancy’. The host was easy to communicate with and did bring some mixing bowls and an electric skillet over so it was a bit easier to cook. The place needs bigger pans, a real cutting board, baking sheets, etc. My biggest reason for not staying there again would be the fact that he has the thermostat so that the renter cannot change it. It was freezing the first night… and I had to text him directions for when to tuen up the air or even turn it off because of how cold it would be. He did bring some small throw blankets over that did help.
