Wow! Great location, great space!
We really enjoyed our stay. This location is awesome - walking distance to historic Hyde Park with shopping, dining and coffee shops. Also could walk to Camelback Park which has a ton of trails. This space was perfect for 2 people and was very well stocked. Would stay at this place again for sure.

We've stayed in several VRBOS and none of them have been as well stocked as this one. Even spare reading glasses in the bedside drawers! All high end appliances and easy to use. The curb appeal belies high nice the interior is!

Comfortable stay in quiet neighborhood.
Comfortable and nice modern furniture. Heated bathroom floor. Easy to use heater. Nice smart tv. Personal preference would be to have room darkening shades on windows. Quiet at night. Snacks and drinks for guests nice touch.

First, I want to say maybe scout it's location in advance. If you arrive in the dark, you will have a tough time finding the property, even with the provided instructions. It looks like an old tool shed (boat house?) on the outside. You are initially wondering if it is the property and maybe you will be a bit disappointed when you first see it. Parking is on the street and it's a bit strange. When you go in though, it is the nicest boat house ever. Everything is comfortable, well furnished, with a modern contemporary look. It has an outdoor patio that is fantastic. I also liked the full walk in shower with accessibility consideration that tucks out of the way in case you have no disabilities. Up the street, is one of the best parks in Boise that is walking distance. Also, awesome coffee shops and quick (Uber or car) access to downtown. So, don't be disappointed by the outside, it's great inside. Unless you are about appearances on the outside... then I suggest find someplace else. I rated it 4 overall because i can't go with 5 when it's hard to find and has a funky curb appeal. For the price, would definitely stay here again.
