Great spot close to GCU

5/5

Went out for a quick few days for sons graduation and move out for both of our kids. Very comfortable and clean and very dog friendly. Fully fenced back yard keeps them safe. Super comfy beds and great spots throughout to sit and chat. Property owners are responsive beyond belief. Highly recommend

Pleasant Stay

5/5

Property manager is excellent. Very nice small private yard. The house is a little dated but is very charming and clean. We would definitely stay here again

Minimal

3/5

The property is very old as well as the beds and the linens. There is one tv in in a room with uncomfortable chairs. The towels that were laid out I would clean my car with it. The host was nice but it was not a place I would stay again. I wanted to write this review months ago but it never allowed me too

Manager's Response:

Hi Jeanne, we're sorry to hear that this property did not exceed your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner, who was surprised as they were not notified of any concerns while you were in residence. They assured us that the home and furnishings are well-kept, including all towels, linens, and chairs. We are confident that future guests will find this home clean and comfortable!

Cost & Convenience VS. comfort

2/5

Fist of all I will say that the location of the property and the neighborhood are spot on. The owner is next door and extremely sweet and giving. That is why this review is hard to right. The yard and patio are wonderful. If you enjoy antiques and are not a fan of relaxing and watching a favorite TV show or movie, this is you place. If you want comfortable furniture, and a nice place to curl up as a family to watch TV, read a book, relax and enjoy some down time, you might want to look elsewhere. The living room furniture was sparce, old and not comfortable. The TV is stuffed in a bedroom/Den with two very uncomfortable chairs and a trundle bed so high up you could not safely get on and off (hint, remove the box spring, it is irrelevant). There are dusty un-interesting nick-nacks that do not add value all over. and little door hangers on every door that just get in the way.The kitchen is a mish mash of old discarded items, and is not very functional. The cupboards are full of stuff, but not organized in any sensible way. For instance, who many sets of china do you need? For me, 1 full set. How many sets of silverware do you need? Again, 1 full set. How many cookie Jars do you need taking up all the counter space? In a rental, None! The bathrooms! zero space for quests to put their things. instead of a small vanity that looks 'historic' a large vanity with drawers and counter space would be more convenient.

Manager's Response:

Hi Daniel, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
-We feel the TV is in an appropriate spot in the home, and the chairs are comfortable. There are three chairs, and one is smaller.
-The trundle bed is high but not so high that you feel you'd fall off. We haven't had this comment before, but we'll assess and make adjustments where needed.
-We always check the property is clean and guest-ready before guests arrive.
-We've removed the door hangers, as we understand they can get in the way.
-We provide extra plates and silverware to accommodate a larger group if needed.
-We provide one jar for cookies and one for biscotti. We like to leave treats for our guests to enjoy.
-The vanity came with the home, and there isn't much space or room for an adjustment.
-Unfortunately, we found out you brought an additional dog. We ask that guests please respect our house rules and policies.
We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

Great location and hosts

5/5

Our hosts were so welcoming, helpful, and responsive to our questions and requests. The house was roomy, clean, and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the lovely patio, with lots of potted plants and two tables for outdoor meals, relaxation, and socializing. The location is fabulous—a wonderful neighborhood within walking distance of the tram and the Heard museum. Highly recommended!
