The house was very nice and enjoyable. We had multiple ladies staying together. The only thing I would suggest is window coverings in the bathroom upstairs, as there is a 3 story apartment across the street that has quiet a view. The host did reach out to try and help resolve by checking the windows for possible mechanics of covering, but we were busy with workdays and unable to meet them to check for possible solutions. I would also suggest a door on the same bathroom. The host was responsive and with those few changes, would defenitly stay here again as it is the perfect location and size for a big group.

Family gathering for UT grad

Very nice stay. Carpets upstairs are in need of some cleaning, the washing machine (eventually got it working) and oven were out of order. That part would’ve been nice to know ahead of time as we had menu’s already outlined, and we had to change all meal plans. Aside from that, the host was very responsive, great location, and we had a wonderful time.
