Had a great time visiting family. House is very clean. Location is great. It was very easy. Needs bedroom furniture. Master bedroom has nowhere to hang or store clothes and only one bedside table. John was extremely easy to work with. Found a sweater under the sofa. Not ours. Overall a great experience

Perfect Tallahassee get-away!
John was wonderful to work with-responsive and hospitable. The house was exactly as shown - very roomy and comfortable. The beds were awesome! There were no issues with cleanliness. The little issues mentioned in some reviews-a locked closet, limited drawers, no hangers-were non-issues to us. Such things have been common to us, staying in similar situations and even commercial cabins and properties. We were very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and quite beautiful. The location was wonderful! It took us no time to get around town to the sights. And so much to do-what a great area for a vacation!

Close to everything but lacking in a number of areas
The location was great as was the back yard. There were issues with a non functioning ice maker as noted in the last review. The outlet in the master bath did not have GFCI and I got shocked when I plugged in a hair dryer. It started smoking and I notified the landlord who offered to send someone out. There were two light switches in the kitchen with no cover plates on it. The house had a very strong chemical smell on arrival so we opened some windows and then noticed in the bedrooms a sour smell. No exhaust fans in bath. Few dishes other than paper and plastic bowls. The price was too high for the overall quality of this home.

Not sanitary, nasty, and owner is not trust worthy!
I had to wait to do this review by the owner is not trusting. Nasty food in the kitchen and rotten food in the cabinets. I never thought to check out linen on the beds upon arrival. It was late night when I was turning in or so I thought, when I found the bed and linens soiled with blood. Yes, Blood! I almost hyperventilated. At this point nothing could have convinced me that this home had been cleaned. I started washing the washcloths and towels and went and purchased all linen for all rooms and air matresses so that I can get a good night sleep. I contacted the owner, John and he stated that he will go and purchase new linen the next day. I informed him that I was already at the store purchasing these items and would just need to be reimbursed. He agreed and told me to send him a copy of the receipt. I sent it to him and he only chose to reimburse for the one bed, not any of the other bedding purchase. I did not argue with him as I was trying to get through the holiday with my family. The day after departure, I texted and ask when will he be processing the deposit. He texted back that he had to replace his phone and who is this. I explained that I was the person the just rented his home. He said, my home been rented all month. I then sent him the date and my full name and explained to him that I don't play games I file proceedings. He then told me that I need to review the home away policy and procedues which is 7-10 days after departure.
Don't trust the look of the home!

Quaint, quiet and clean
Very warm and welcoming home. Everything was exactly as the pictures showed. Perfect place for a small family for thee weekend to go to FSU games. It was a short 8-10 min drive to the stadium and a short drive to numerous restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend this place. Thanks again!
