Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay! Overall a great place to stay with a large group. There is plenty of space for everybody and it’s in such a great location. We were able to walk to downtown for dinner. The beds were also comfortable. Some cons, the house has strict quiet hours because the walls are thin and old church echos. We were able to hear the other tenants laughing and walking around so I’m sure they were also able to hear us as well. Although we were both respectful of the quiet hours so it worked out. The bathroom and one of the bedroom doors down stairs wouldn’t stay closed so we had to put towels down in front of the door in order to keep them closed. Overall, a great place to gather with friends and family and it is cool to be staying in an old church. Host also responded quickly when needed. Would stay again! ##### McKenna Y.
