You simply can't beat the location - a quick walk to the stadium and midtown. Our host was super accommodating and even was able to help us score some extra tickets to the football game! The only thing I would note is you do have to move your cars by Saturday morning if you're in town for a gameday, as the host sells parking in the backyard of the house. It wasn't really disruptive to us at all though! ##### Hannah M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris S.
