Homeowner duped by cleaning crew
We did not actually stay and went to a hotel due to bedding not having been changed and general uncleanliness. The homeowner was very responsive and apologetic. She had paid for a “deep clean” 2 days prior to our check in. She did not get the services she paid for.

Girls trip
Neighborhood was older, curb appeal of house was not as shown on picture. The interior of the house was very clean and cute but the floors were uneven, and there was no water pressure which made showering challenging. I have stayed at many VRBOs so I was surprised to be asked to strip my bed, collect my towels and place them by the washing machine, empty the trashes and put in garbage can outside; isn’t this what the cleaning fee for? Also not all of the electrical outlets work, there are power cords in every room to assist with plugging in devices to the outlets that did work but I was not comfortable doing this as I did not feel it was safe.

House was cute and perfect for our weekend trip. We did have a TV glitch but was easily resolved and communication was smooth and fast. Other than that we had a great time. No major issues and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations

Pictures are deceiving!!!!
The house is in a very run down neighborhood. Upon entering the house we noticed roaches all over the house. The house was very dirty and we had to take our items in and out each day. Wayeout

Early August Visit
Home was very charming and full of all the amenities. However, neighborhood is quite busy and main street in front of home, Morrow Ave., has constant traffic on it and people speed through the neighborhood early in the morning and late at night. Only place to park your vehicle is on the street, so we made the decision to park on the side street of the house to avoid any issues. This was not disclosed in any of the comments, but future renters should be aware in case you are expecting a quite neighborhood. Not so quiet.

Short but sweet stay!
Cute little place with adequate parking. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. Security cameras made us feel very safe. The house was fully stocked with everything we could need. Lovely home will definitely look into staying here again if we are in Waco.

The house is so cute and location is fine. It’s is in a neighborhood that is loud with people and traffic. We had a great time seeing all Magnolia! The house is historic so very cute but smells very musty.

Beautiful home
This was a beautiful, cozy home. We loved our girls trip and had a great place to stay in. It was very clean and comfortable. We had all we needed. You will need to park on the street and the light switches are in odd places, but it’s to be expected in an older home. The hosts are great communicators so if you need anything, they can help.

Wouldn’t Book Again
We booked this house to watch the total solar eclipse and it served us for that purpose, however if we are ever in the area again, we would not book this property. You can tell the hosts put a lot of effort into decorating the place, but it was lacking in some necessities like cookware (only 1 skillet) and decent knives. The bed was so uncomfortable, my husband ended up sleeping on the couch. The hosts were unreachable during our stay too.
