Needs updating
The property could use some updating. Kitchen and baths are old. They main bedroom bed is comfortable, but the other Matress is not. I guess for the price it was fine. Just seemed old. Furniture as well. But it was clean, and the location was also ok. About a 7 minute drive to Auburn University.

Super clean & cozy- bring earplugs!
Charming yet dated. Very clean. Great towels! The only thing that was really tough was all the loud stomping and walking around from upstairs. Poor insulation. Walls shake when folks above walk. Hard to sleep. Ear plugs were a lifesaver for us all. No fault of the property. It was great. Just unfortunate neighbors that live above.

Auburn A-Day Game
I have a tradition with my son and grandson from Jax, Fl where we come to Auburn for three days for the A-Day game. We got moved to this property when our other one flooded beforehand. This was fine, not quite as nice, but it is older. My only complaint is with the address. It lists as N.Donahue but it’s really on Porter off Donahue. But no big deal. We had a great trip.

Renter Beware! I don’t recommend them!
First, it smelled so bad that it was uninhabitable so I asked that they come and air it out or spray it and informed them I would be out all day. I came back then next day and they had done nothing except set a can of febreeze at the door. Second, I had no idea where I was staying bc they switched me to someplace else that I was informed of at arrival day and had no pics, etc so had to Zillow what the building looked like bc there were 2 close by and I had no info. When we tried to spray air freshener enough to overcome the smells, it flared up an asthma attack so we called the mgr at 11:30pm to ask to be moved to which she replied it was the middle of the night and there’s nowhere to go until after the weekend. This was just a nightmare and I would never rent from them again! Yes, we received a refund bc we weren’t able to stay there! But it ruined our trip and that’s not worth any amount of money!

Auburn Weekend
Stayed for the weekend to attend a swim meet. Great location and unit was as advertised. My only complaint was from some upstairs noise that I think was some renovations going on during our stay. Overall, a great place. Plenty of room for a big group that wants to bring an air mattress too. Rooms are massive.

Nice place
Nice property, a little bit farther from the university than we expected (about 20-25 min walk to Toomers), but it was fine and we got a lot of exercise! Quiet apartment complex in a residential neighborhood. Not the most updated place but price reflects that and it was totally functional. Overall a good experience!

So Nice!!!
The apartment is very clean and smells amazing when you first walk in! There’s so much room and the bathrooms were very clean as well. The property manager Amanda was always so kind and helped me with any questions or concerns I had. The unit is a great location and 4 minutes from Downtown Auburn. And I’d say amazing pricing as well for where you’re at! I’d recommend this unit to anyone visiting the loveliest village on the Plains:)

Confusing
When we arrived we could hear people inside. Thank goodness we didn’t use the key we had the code for and knocked instead. There were three people in the apartment. We arrived at 11 pm and had to quickly scramble to find a hotel. I will say one of the property managers called us immediately and was very sorry for the mix up. I am still in shock thinking about how bad it could have been. If we would have walked in on them sleeping it could have been bad. Especially if they had a gun and thought we were breaking in. What a nightmare this was!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug 2023
This reservation was made two days before arrival date. Unfortunately, I run these unit myself and was diagnosed with aggressive cancer that week and was a little distracted. This reservation slipped through and was not communicated with the unit owner. The owner had workers there replacing flooring. The guest was immediately contacted and given a full refund. When renting from a person, not Marriott, sometimes issues like horrible life changing news can come up and affect people.
