Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Baylor University move in This was a bitter sweet time as I was in town to help my daughter move into her new apartment for year 2 at BU. The Nest was a perfect place to rest in between and hold intimate conversations with my daughter. Kyal, our host, was very attentive to our needs and quick to reply. We even stayed an additional night without hassle. The kitchenette was key to save money as this trip was quite costly. This cottage was charming, provided all we needed and I hope to return with my husband. ##### Katherine F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa B.
