"Don’t be mislead by the age of the house; it was impeccably clean and organized. The neighborhood, though not centrally located for university access, was close to downtown and south Duff businesses plus convenience stores and several restaurants. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. It suited my needs perfectly."

"The house was very comfortable and had all of the ammenities we needed. There was a little glitch about changing the date of check-in but was resolved quickly by Carmen. There was plenty of room for 5 of us with rooms to spare. My granddaughter was especially tickled to find several containers of toys. Beds were comfortable, the towels were nice - sometimes they are not! I would definitely recommend this spot to others. Thanks, Carmen!"
