We booked this VRBO when we were having out of town guests and couldn't comfortably fit everyone at our house. The 6 guests who stayed at the house were very comfortable and the location is ideal to Homewood, downtown, or Mtn. Brook. Daniel was friendly and a good communicator by phone and messaging.

We loved it. The rooms are very spacious, the home is beautiful, and the area was perfect. It was extremely quiet in the neighborhood after 9 p.m., which was very appreciated. The local shops and various restaurants are less than 5 minutes away. We were there for my sister to have back surgery the following morning. We only got to stay one night but I could see being very comfortable if we'd stayed a week or longer. It's convenient to the Interstates but just the right distance away to have a private, quiet stay. You can't get that in a hotel.

We enjoyed the kitchen equipment, coffee, soaps. The mattresses were very comfortable. The host was very responsive to our questions, especially when we did not know how to lock the door. The street was quiet and we felt safe. We would stay there again. Thank you, Daniel.
