This unit is in a quiet neighborhood and easy to find. We were in Boise to visit family in the area. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed as were the bedroom and bathroom. The instructions were clear and the communication with the landlord was prompt. We'd be happy to stay here again!

Perfect Romantic Getaway

The furnishings were very tasteful. The amenities exceed the average VRBO. The location is excellent for exploring downtown Boise and other surrounding landmarks. The property is very quiet and private even in the heart of a neighborhood. I would book this property everytime I visit Boise!

Everything you need to have a comfortable stay, great backyard patio, easy parking, and a quiet neighborhood. Location could not be better. Easy access to downtown and Camelback park is only a block away. Slept very well on the king size bed and bathroom and shower had everything we needed. Check in and out super easy, could not recommend more. 10/10

Wow! Great location, great space!

We really enjoyed our stay. This location is awesome - walking distance to historic Hyde Park with shopping, dining and coffee shops. Also could walk to Camelback Park which has a ton of trails. This space was perfect for 2 people and was very well stocked. Would stay at this place again for sure.

Oasis in the city

Cannot say enough about the owner and property! It was the perfect escape from the hustle of the surrounding city life. The place was immaculate, the owner incredibly responsive and kind. Very thoughtful!! Milk and bagels in the fridge, all kinds of snacks, wide variety of coffees, heated bathroom floor. The backyard was my favorite! Totally surrounded by greenery for privacy and a perfect place to sit outside and enjoy coffee and the warm breeze with a good book! The neighborhood was great for walking and felt completely safe. Will absolutely recommend and use again!

Quiet, clean spot

We were in town for a short weekend conference, and it was a great place to have a quiet moment in between sessions and after a full day. Beautiful little patio on the back with a table and umbrella (for a little more shade when hot and sunny). Enjoyed our stay!

We had the best time in this very comfy home! Spotless, organized with fresh flowers and a fridge/draws full of food and supplies,for free! Beautiful neighborhood a few blocks from open space with trails or neighborhood bars and restaurants. Can’t wait to come in the spring. You will feel pampered here.
