Emily was such an amazing host! Her house matched the pictures and descriptions perfectly. Appreciated the backyard with enough space to let dogs run around. Will definitely be booking again if we are in the area!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10-days at Emily's! The place was spotless clean upon arrival. The furnishings were very comfortable, and all the appliances outstanding and new. I greatly appreciated that she provided an abundant level of startup supplies (we didn't have to rush to the grocery store in our first hours or days upon arrival). Everyone agreed, the cozy and comfortable beds were our favorite thing about the place. Emily herself, was fantastic!! She actually reached out to us often throughout the trip to make sure we were doing okay. One of the most respectful and responsive hosts, I've met in my many years of traveling.
