Really impressed by the cleanliness and high-end features of the property. Great location close to downtown. Excellent communication with the owner. Would stay here again.
This property is adorable, beds are very firm and comfortable. Well maintained inside. Had basic utensils and cookware.
The down side is night life. It was a lot of people racing up and down the street. Groups of people in the street till almost 3 both morning.
Parking is 2 cars, because street parking is consumed by the mechanic next door.
Property was beautiful and clean. Very easy to access. Very spacious. Bed were uncomfortable and I would recommend darkening curtains in the bedroom because of the streets lights around light up the rooms at night.
Loved the house. Very comfortable beds, and excellent air conditioning. You can walk to downtown, and close to airport. It can be a loud area at night on weekends.
Looks new and very clean. Uncluttered but surprisingly has everything you need from coffee maker to bath bombs. The owner was very gracious to work with and even suggested places to go for dinner. The town has a young laid-back personality and overall good vibe. The food and bar options within a 5 minute walk are outstanding. We heard the train go by but after a couple times it was no longer distracting. Great deck to sit out in privacy and enjoy the morning newspaper and cup of Joe. Two minute walk to wonderful coffee and danish shop. I could go on but you probably get the idea by now. Our party of 6 slept very comfortably. Many thanks to the owner who is notably one of the best we've done business with?

Myself and two of my kids stayed at this property while in Lafayette for a baseball game and a comic con. The house is wonderfully maintained and cozy. You do have to deal with a train that runs near by but the hosts does provide ear plugs if you wish to use them. I would stay at this property again.
This house was just perfect for our stay in Lafayette for Mardi Gras! It’s a 1950s era bungalow lovingly restored and in an ideal location. Walk to the parade routes and also to downtown’s shopping and restaurants.
There is a train that passes nearby, but it never seemed to bother us. There is also no dishwasher, so keep up with cleaning the dishes or bring disposable (and recyclable) items.
We also enjoyed the side deck and backyard with a high fence for privacy and string lights made everything feel festive.
Overall, a wonderful stay!
The house itself was really nice! Only thing I had a problem with was the parking I didn’t know it would be on a main area downtown but that’s completely out of the hosts hands. Everything was nice I enjoyed my stay

Why they chose this property
I absolutely love the location of this home situated so close to all of Downtown Lafayette's best shops, bars, and restaurants! You will have access to the entire property and house. Being located in downtown Lafayette and near railroad tracks and roads unwanted noise is a possibility at this location. Please consider this if you are a light sleeper!
What makes this property unique
The person I bought the home from inherited it from his late mother who purchased it in the 1950s as a single mom, which was unheard of then! For years he had people begging him to sell it to them. I was honored when he choose to sell his beloved family home to me because I promised him that I would restore it to something beautiful again. Upon completion, I gave the previous owner and his siblings a tour and they absolutely adored it.
