Everything you need and More

This property is exactly what we were looking for! We joined our friends for a short weekend stay and the house has everything and more. The owner stocked amazing coffee, snacks and waters for us. The sheets and bedding is so soft and comfortable and it was the perfect size for 4 of us. The location is great and a great neighborhood for walking as well. Perfect in every-way and will definitely stay here again

A Perfect Home-Away-From-Home

Petra is an excellent, communicative host. The house is exactly as described on the website and is decorated with care and charm. A great deal of attention has gone into sustainability and environmental concerns (in household items and cleaning/bath products) and there are specific guidelines to follow to make sure these practices are maintained (very clearly described once you check in). You will feel safe and comfortable (great beds!) in this house that is really a home.

Best VRBO experience ever

The house is clean, comfortable, and very well-appointed. The host has thoughtfully considered everything you could want or need in a VRBO. The beds are comfortable, the window coverings are great (blinds and black out curtains), the linens are in excellent condition, the kitchen is well-stocked, and there are great back-up supplies on hand. We will definitely be renting here again when we return for another visit with friends who live in the area.

Cozy home in quiet neighborhood

This is my second extended stay with Petra’s house. This rental is perfect for a family visiting a college student, or just for a nice homey place away from home. It can be hard to find the right VRBO but this one ticks all the boxes for me - cozy house, clean, eco friendly, great communication from the owner, walkable to many neighborhood cafes, restaurants, etc. I do not think it will disappoint in any way. The pictures truly represent the home!

A home away from home

This home is comfortable, very clean, beautiful artwork in every room. Kitchen utensils, linens, towels, etc. are very good quality and in perfect condition. The laundry area is clean and the washer and dryer are in very good condition. The host has provided a variety of eco friendly soaps and I've found some new favorites. The host responded very quickly when contacted about a minor issue. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. It everything you want when you need a home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Petra

Why they chose this property

I really liked the opportunity to have a home that is convenient to both downtowns. The home was built in 1949 and has beautiful brickwork and lends itself to a Mid-Century Modern vibe which I love! I tried to find MCM furniture where I could.

What makes this property unique

I am very health conscious and so have tried to make this home as eco-friendly as I possible. The floors were redone in water-based poly. The paints were zero or low VOC. The mattresses are natural with no chemicals. The towels are organic cotton. I had the dirty electricity mitigated and there is an option to turn off the WiFi and use ethernet cables to access the internet. I use non-toxic cleaners and the soaps and washing machine powders are eco-friendly as well. If there is anything else you need please let me know!
