"Our family really appreciated our stay! The whole premise was very clean, all amenities were well stocked, and the host was very responsive. Our family had lots of fun cooking together on the grill and playing pool and ping pong! The place was very spacious and clean, the only uncomfortable part was not having a large dining table. The neighborhood also seemed pretty safe. The house was conveniently located, with SD downtown and a lot of places we wanted to go to within 10-20 minutes of driving...

"Stayed for new years. Place was very nice and perfect for two. Wish the listing had more pictures, particularly of the bathroom and bed area, but both weee good in reality. The kitchen was the highlight of the space with full appliances and solid equipment for cooking basic meals. Would have been nice to have more towels for the kitchen, a drying rack for dishes, and a baking sheet for the oven. Other than that, great kitchen. The studio is below another unit and footsteps can definitely be...
