Perfect place between the Expo Center and downtown!

The house was in great condition and with 3 couples we each had a bedroom and bathroom plus and extra room with bunk beds. Toasty’s is 30 steps away and the food is excellent. Owner was on top of everything and very responsive with any question I had. Highly recommend the house and location!

Just okay

As a collective, our 6 adults felt that safety and security was not prioritized when the home was being renovated. Parking in the back is not well lit, door locks were not secured properly. Outsiders can see thru the windows at night. Overall, just okay.

Great location for our trip

We were in town for dinner, and to visit the breweries and distilleries, and the house was perfectly located. House was clean and plenty of room for the group. I will rent again if we return.

Back up plan

The property was extremely nice, but the home itself was experiencing plumbing issues, the pipes had frozen and backed up plumbing throughout the house which caused the most awful smell throughout the house, the feces came up in the shower stalls, the cleaning crew came to clean it up later on, but then the plumbers came and used a snake to unclog everything and made a even bigger mess, we had to leave the house because the smell was so unpleasant. Upon us returning to the home, the cleaning crew blew a Circuit breaker, that was located in the basement where all the backed up stool was, and my husband had to go down in this tiny crawl space and kick the power back on, we did get a discount for staying a second day, but I don’t wish this bad luck on anyone
