Great Stay!!

My wife and I were visiting our daughter and two grandsons in the area. The accommodations were perfect. Because my daughter's apartment is very small, it was convenient to have her ad the boys come to the VRBO for several hours at a time. We greatly appreciated the comfy, homey feel of this rental!

College Place apt

Kimberley was very prompt with responses. She brought extra soap within minutes. The apartment was very well stocked and spacious. Even fresh coffee beans & a grinder. There is a floral fragrant that is powerful & would be difficult for anyone with sensitive allergies. Maybe choose fragrance free cleaners. Hot water takes a very long time.

Nice property

A bit noisier than other basement units we have stayed in, but probably more a factor of age of property than habits of upstairs residents. A good basic unit at a good value.

Our stay!!

It was the 1st time we stayed in a daylight basement apt. The upstairs area was Quiet. The plants needed to be sprayed for aphids, kitchen sink mat would prevent dishes getting broke, a couple of recliners instead of a big sofa. Very nice host and family!

Perfect for the budget traveler

Close to Walla Walla and the Blue Mountains. This vrbo is the basement of a larger home, set up as a decent sized rental. Accommodations were perfect with full kitchen, dinning, living area, bedroom and bath. Outdated but comfortable and cozy, I would stay here again. The only negative was the neighbor dog barking and an occasional noise heard from people upstairs walking and you would have that at a hotel as well. Thank you Kimberly -

Easeful. Space was clean. Comfy mattress. Kitchen was great (aside it would have been nice to have a little oil and a spatula💜) Perfect for my family and we would rent again.

Great week

I had a week-long doctoral residency at the University and did not want to spend the money on a hotel! This was PERFECT! Very clean, and accommodating for just me! Walla Walla was having extra hot days, and the bedroom did get a little warm; however, placing the fan in the hallway blowing the cool air in was a good solution! Thanks for the great stay!

All we needed in Accommodations

Highly recommend a stay in Walla. This home was comfortable, spacious and air conditioned :) We learned that Uber/Lyft aren't prevalent in the area but it's just about ten minutes from downtown and very reasonably priced for what it is. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect little spot to rest

Such a well cute and clean VRBO. House had everything we needed from towels and clean linens to a nicely stocked kitchen. Air mattresses were set up in the living room for the kids upon arrival, climate control was great, and lots of nice touches in the house. Parking was plentiful and loved the keypad entry. Thank you!
