Comfortable and cozy

The host and location of the place were great. The amenities were a little more standard and bare but I think it’s a fantastic spot for a large group who plans to sleep and not necessarily entertain. Cozy and comfortable.

The kitchen was poorly equipped for cooking. There were no measuring spoons or measuring cups. The plates and cups were poor quality and insufficient. There were no non-breakable cups for kids. There was only one coffee mug in this 5-bedroom house (the coffee cups were small), and maybe 9 mismatched plates. The coffee maker took FOREVER and needs to be replaced. And there is no dishwasher. Highlight: Great 4-slice toaster.The downstairs with 2 bedrooms smelled moldy. The sink in the downstairs bathroom had 2 large holes in it and didn't drain properly. The hot water was scalding--dangerously hot--such that one adult in our party was burned even though she was being cautious.The money for that weekend alone is enough to fix most of the flaws. Time to upgrade.
Holes in bathroom sink.

Horrible!

The house was very misrepresented. It had a terrible odor, was exceptionally shabby and dated inside and out and we left after five minutes of a walk through. The gate to the overgrown back yard did not work to enclose for our dog. I absolutely would not recommend this place and hope to get at least a partial refund.

Convenient location to ND

As other reviews noted, this property isn’t anything fancy, but has a good host and location to Notre Dame is only minutes away. We were in town for Baton Twirling Championships and really only needed a place to sleep and make a few meals, as we weren’t there much at all. When we arrived we thought the exterior of the house as well as the yard could use some attention. Located in a quiet neighborhood, this house is very similar in size to those surrounding it, but other properties are much better kept up. When we arrived after check in at 4:20, there was still someone in the house cleaning, but left about 10 minutes later. Even after it was cleaned, we noticed sticky residue on the kitchen floor that we cleaned up and I wiped up residue from some cabinets and exterior of microwave. None of this was a big deal, as we just needed a quiet place to sleep each night and have room for meal prep to take to campus each day with us.

Major Gap between Listing and Reality

This host was very available and responsive to pre- and during communications (thank you) and I rarely if ever include negative reviews, but the gap between reality and the listing is too wide for me to say nothing. Especially at a premium price. We've stayed in at least four other ND rentals, and this was the first that was bad. This home would have been OK for a trip with 5-7 (younger) guys just looking for a place to sleep on a big football party weekend. We however had a full family including my mom... and we came very close to leaving after first night. The home was run down and dirty. We had to re-clean the dishes. The ones in the cabinet had hardened spaghetti still on them. Stains on the bedspread. Kitchen towels dirty (or at very least highly stained). Holes in the downstairs sink. Curtains or shades missing, not working and definitely not same as photos. Nor were the couches. Coffee maker broken. We canceled a small backyard get together, because backyard was a mess (broken fence, deck boards broken or dingy). Even some simple things from target (matching, clean towels... matching dishes and glasses.. a new bedspread, a keurig) would have helped. A thorough cleaning and some paint required. Location was very convenient to ND. With even a small amount of work, this simple home could be a perfectly fine ND home for a long weekend at campus. But it's far from that right now.

The connector and cable going into the modem are loose. They need to be crimped. The wifi was spotty; we had to be super careful not to touch the modem because the slightest jostle disconnected it.

Tailgate weekend

This house was exactly as described in the listing. Definitely nothing fancy but it was clean and perfect for a group of 9 adults. It was great that each couple had their own room and that the stadium was so close. It only took about 15 minutes to walk to the tailgate lot. The neighborhood felt safe and we had a great time in the backyard around the fire pit each night. We'd definitely stay here again. Thank you!
