Great stay!

I had a great stay at this location. The property was accurate as described and the photos were also accurate. The communication with the owner was very smooth and expedient. The location of the house is because it is in walking distance of many restaurants and shopping locations. We had no trouble finding Street parking. The AC unit is a little loud, but it works well. Additionally, the kitchen is very well appointed. There was a nice little backyard for my dogs, but walking around the neighborhood and to Founders Park was even better. The bathroom is on the second floor, but as long as everybody is fine with stairs, it is perfectly acceptable. No problems at all with the neighbors. I would definitely recommend this stay.

4.5 Star Old Town stay

Listen, the mgr was FANTASTIC! The place was comfortable for our family of 5. My biggest issue which wasn't something they could fix right then and there, was I didn't trust the integrity of the front door. There is an electric lock(which I love) but no secondary deadbolt. I don't want to worry about safety. It stresses me out, especially when my kids are with me. The neighborhood was quiet, people walked about at both day and night, no one was shady which helped ease my momma worries. I just couldn't round this up to a 5. If a single lock is good for you, then I think you'll enjoy your stay. Wish we'd had more time to explore Old Town by foot.

Great location

We enjoyed the house, clean, and decorated nicely. Would be nice if there was a half bath on the main floor because the stairs are tough with knee issues but overall doable. The location was perfect, safe, easy to get to main attractions and local restaurants. Had a great time.
