The home was beyond what we were expecting as were the host's. We rented the home until our home was completed in the same neighborhood. Only can say great things and for those who cook, the kitchen is well equipped. I cannot endorse this rental more or the owners.
Our Baby Klaus loved the home equally and felt welcomed.

It's comfortable, homey and has everything you need including an espresso maker. There are several restaurants in walking distance and it's very close to the stadium.

Wonderful stay

I’m a veteran of Vrbo and other short term rental properties and this is one of my favorites. The house is comfortable and very well stocked. I was a bit apprehensive about the neighborhood since it is older and near downtown and especially as I was alone most of the six weeks. The neighbors are great and there are a number of businesses including restaurants, post office and a bank in walking distance. The hosts are amazing and went above and beyond. I strongly recommend this historic Springfield porch home.

Adorable home, great kitchen and bathroom.

My husband and I brought our 2 small doggies this adorable home to explore the Jacksonville area, and get away from the gloomy weather in Maryland. We very much enjoyed the home and fenced front and backyard. It is very clean and lots of counter space and storage in both the main bathroom and kitchen. I enjoyed the spices the owner left along with the expresso machine and all the dishes, pots and pans that you need to cook a gourmet meal! The location was very close to downtown-there are some abandoned homes nearby, which the owners noted in their description, but also lots of the good parts of the city such as wonderful restaurants. The Bake Shop is a real find for amazing pastries and sandwiches.

Beautiful home, quiet stay

This beautiful remodeled historic home was perfect for our weekend plans. I chose it specifically for three reasons: 1: dog friendly, 2: fenced property, 3: king sized bed! It’s a stand alone home, and you’ll have the whole house to yourself. The home is beautifully decorated and so clean! My very particular partner had nothing negative to say lol! Lots of space and no shortage of bathrooms to choose from either! There are many delicious restaurants very close by as well. Uptown has incredible breakfast and Hawkers isn’t far either, amazing dinner there! The neighborhood itself is up and coming, lots of historic, restored homes and a quaint downtown Historic Springfield area. I would be failing if I didn’t mention it’s also about a mile from the Jags stadium. GO SEAHAWKS!
