The place felt like home. All 8 adults were very comfortable and not cramped. The towels and bed linens are white and very nice. We all know how hard that color is to keep clean. They had a fresh clean scent(not a bleach smell). The house was conveniently located for us. Would be a great place to stay while attending Baylor football games. Less than 10 minutes to McLane stadium. The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and the Silos. We are very pleased with Suzanne and her place.

Our stay was comfortable. We were there only overnight so did not actually use the house except for sleeping as we came 5 1/2 hours away and left after lunch the next day. The beds were comfortable.
