Its combination of location, floorplan, cleanliness, and ease of communication with the owner make it a pleasure. Our only complaint is that all the TVs are Roku. ##### Robert L. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert L. Jan 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome The rental we stayed at during our Christmas vacation was worthy of a five star rating. To say it was clean, well-furnished, and comfortable is inadequate to describe this awesome place. The living room was comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Conveniently, each of the two bathrooms had a shower bench, and there were a washer and dryer. Best of all, there was a beautiful outdoor space. We highly recommend this VRBO and will try to rent it next time we're in town. ##### Robert L. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura V. Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house in central B’ville Check in was easy. The house was really open and clean. My mom who is disabled got around easily and the walk-in showers were great hit her. They even had small benches she could sit in! The backyard was also really cute. Even though I’m a busy street, there was no noise at night. Felt very safe. ##### Laura V.
