I had a great stay. The place was clean and the check-in was smooth. The host was very responsive. It's in an quiet area but restaurants and a grocery store are within walking distance. The only minor downside is that you can sometimes hear the neighbors due to the thin walls.

This 2 bedroom apartment was great for my family who was visiting town. Location was good next to Strawberry Creek park and near University Ave. our only complaint is the kitchen was not fully stocked, there were no utensils and no coffee filters but otherwise highly recommend for a short stay as it was spacious and clean!

Great place, accessible and safe neighborhood. Had loud neighbors at times and no AC which makes the apartment very hot when it’s over 80 degrees out. Overall good stay.
