My family stayed at Karen's place for two months while our house was being renovated. The location was excellent and Max was a very responsive host. Would definitely stay here again!

Great for longer stay.

Stayed for 7 weeks for clinical rotation. Close to everything. Easy access to highways, shopping, grocery stores and restaurants. State Park and airport 15 minutes away. Safe and quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. Townhouse was equipped with everything we needed in kitchen to cook each night. Downstairs living area is comfortable and cool. Was very nice to have two full baths and laundry facilities. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows. Only recommendations we would have would be to: 1- add blackout curtains to bedrooms to block out sunlight and keep them cooler during the day/night and 2- to consider cleaning the carpets after guests with pets. Previous renter(s) must have had dogs who marked.
