2. People other than those in the Guest party may not stay overnight in the property. Any other person in the property is the sole responsibility of Guest.

Perfect spot
We needed a place central to all of plans and this spot was perfect. Clean, lots of products (loved the bamboo toilet paper), street parking. Excellent Chinese restaurant at bottom of the hill. Friendly neighbors. Definitely rent again.

Stop scrolling... this is a keeper
I'll make short. Great neighborhood, within walking distance to restaurants and amenities that make a nice safe neighborhood nice and safe. Heavy pedestrian area, lots of activities but not disturbing or disruptive. Spacious home away from home. Tastefully decorated. Very clean. Accommodations nice. Laundry a plus. Street parking was not an issue. The host replied and quickly responded and resolved any issues. NO long list of chores and threatening fees when checking out (even with customary cleaning fees). We visit family in the area and we'll be back!

Great place to stay
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean when we arrived.
The kitchen is great with a big dining table in the dining room. The third floor bedroom and bath with sauna is outstanding. Outstanding communication with the property manager.
He checked in to make sure we had what we needed and I mentioned that it would be great to have another hair dryer and a few towels.
They were delivered within 10 minutes!!

Perfect Stay!
This just might be the nicest VRBO property I have ever stayed in! Recently renovated top to bottom, the house had a cozy, clean, homey vibe the minute we walked in. Chad was communicative throughout the process, check in was easy (two thumbs up to a door keypad instead of a key -- so much easier!). We loved hanging out in the living room at the end of the day, the kitchen was perfectly stocked with pots & pans dishes etc, enjoyed the coffee bar every morning. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and although we did not end up using the sauna -- what a cool amenity! The location was excellent, short walk to everything in Lawrenceville, on the bus route to downtown, and ubers never took longer than 10 minutes to arrive. The neighborhood was safe and friendly and the cemetery across the street a perfect place for our morning walk. If I could give this property 10 stars, I would!

The house was very clean, and upscale. The sauna was awesome and we loved being able to walk down to Butler Street. Very cool vibe in this area. Inkwell coffee and La Gourmandine French Bakery are our favorites!
