I was very pleased with every aspect of the accommodation. I travel alone and the family neighborhood was quiet and safe. Shops and restaurants were close by as was access to the city. The space was clean and very comfortable with everything I needed and the host friendly and helpful. On top of all that, great value for the money!

I needed a comfortable easily accessible accommodation for a business trip. I was very pleased with the residence and host. It was very clean and had all the amenities I needed and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly with accessibility to shops. Susan was very communicative but respectful of my privacy. Would definitely recommend.

Wifi was reliable, easy to access the property, and the bed was moderately comfortable but thats unfortunately where the positives end. You're about 10-15 min driving from most things and the streets switch to industrial very so you cant walk safely. The space has signs it hadnt been cleaned properly (left over coffee grounds in coffee machine, plastic ware in the sink), no full size trashcan so if you eat anything beyond take out you end up filling the entire mini trash cans. The shower leaked water on the floor and because of the ada railings you couldnt actually wash yourself without opening the curtain and getting water on the floor even more so (for context i'm a 130lb 5'2). No full covers for the windows of the main room, just curtains which felt nerous for me, traveling alone. It worked for what I needed, a space to work from home for a week out of town. But it really lacked beyond that.

The host did a very nice job of maximizing the limited space with fun decorating and smaller useful items. The access was easy and the neighborhood was quiet. The host left instructions of local hospitals if there was a need and offered beach towels, sunscreen, and aloe vera. The only reservation we experienced was a slight smokey smell, especially in the bathroom (especially on the towels) but not enough to deter us from potentially staying there again. :)

Easy check-in, great quiet neighborhood for walking and yet very near Tyrone mall for shopping.Appreciate the parking spot and private entrance with motion light for visibility at night.Living space was clean and pleasantly laid out.Sink area just outside bathroom is a bit narrow for a larger person but okay for us.Windows have lace curtains but could use a shade for room darkening/ sleeping/privacy.(I clipped up my own Turkish towels to darken the room)Bed is firm with a topper for comfort.AC worked well with additional ceiling fan.Electric Stovetop (no oven access) and microwave helped us prepare simple breakfast meals. Note: coffee mugs in kitchen are NOT microwaveable! Gold on handles will heat up as I found out heating up my coffee! Host was friendly and available if needed but respectful of privacy.Would I return? Absolutely!! Very peaceful property.

Affordable, and Convenient

If you are looking for a place large enough for light cooking , comfortable sleep , an ample tv viewing area , and enough green space to take your pets out as needed , this place is a gem . It is within five to ten minutes of shopping , several beaches, tons of restaurants, and great parks. The communication between the owner and lodgers is top notch . She is hospitable and goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best it can be. Highly recommend!

Good for a busy vacationer

This place does the job, it is a bit crammed especially bathroom area but if you aren't planning on spending a lot of time here, it's sufficient. Susan was very polite and able to respond to request in a quick manner. I would suggest booking a car if you plan to go to the beach, the uber/lyft from here does end up adding up!
