Great house - Quiet Neighborhood

What a great house. All the furniture is very comfortable, just like home. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, yet not too far at all to everything we were there for. If we need to stay in Tallahassee again, we will definitely stay here again.Thank you for sharing your home.

Wonderful, clean property

We had a delightful time here. The only suggestion I would give is that the master bedroom needs a clothes rack since the master closet is locked.

Perfect stay!

The house was spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, and in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We stayed for an FSU graduation and the location was not too far from campus… just far enough to get away from the traffic and congestion. The host provided many “extra” personal touches and the kitchen was well equipped.

Graduation Weekend

This was an amazing stay. Having a family member that works for the FSU football team we often travel to town for games. This has been the best place we have stayed (hotel and homes included). Only 15 mins from campus it was perfect and near enough shopping centers for us to be able to eat and enjoy the weekend. If we come back we will definitely be looking to stay here again

Good for a family with all ages. Good for people whose mobility is a little bit impaired.

The home itself is lovely and very well appointed. Anything we needed, we just communicated to the host and they were able to accommodate. The one negative I would say is it’s far from FSU, as that was where we were spending much of our time.

The home was lovely, located in a very nice subdivision, close to everything we needed. Well equipped. Comfortable beds and linens, and cozy gathering areas for our family. Perfect floor plan. Screened patio was great for a few quiet moments. Will definitely try to book again for our next Tallahassee trip.

Unpleasant experience

From the beginning the experience was unpleasant. When we showed up the cleaners were still in the home. They had not finished cleaning and towels were left in the dryer. Towels had to be folded. House was very dusty. Also, the shower upstairs was not usable. When the shower was in use, the shower started leaking through a speaker to the second floor. I reached out for a resolution and I was told I would be contacted and I was never contacted. Worst part was my child got sick when we got back home and I am sure it had to do with the cleanliness of the home.
