Keely M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property itself was very clean - the neighborhood is what realtors would call 'up and coming'. But it is right next to a biking/walking trail that was perfect for our dogs! The host always had very prompt communications, and Rosie was so helpful. We were able to bring 2 dogs - one is a larger 50lb breed. It is about 15 minutes to the medical center with traffic and parking. We did not have any trouble finding street parking during our stay, but the parking lot for the building is super convenient. The laundry was labeled as 'coin' operated, but it's actually a QR code with online payment. Overall, we are very pleased with our stay. It was exactly what we were looking for!
