Host was communicative and responsive throughout our stay. Check-in instructions were clear and concise as well as the expectations. Amenities in the house were nice, functioned well and overall the house was comfortable. Location was PERFECT. Safe, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to most everything we wanted to get to. Gated driveway for our rental vehicle was a bonus.

The host was very helpful. The house is very conveniently located. Close to downtown and close to good restaurants. The house is charming and homey and a fine specimen (more than 100 years old) with high ceilings and fine woodwork. The kitchen was well stocked with staples. We enjoyed the neighborhood feel. It was perfect for us, a group of friends attending a conference. Beds comfortable, homey all around.

Great place to stay, convenient to everything. Easy walk to Riverwalk and Alamodome (in town for the Final Four,go Gators!). Off street parking was a plus. The Tommy-provided essentials of fruit, milk, eggs, etc. was a nicetouch. Would definitely stay there again!
