Short stay

Overall our stay was great. If I had to find anything to be picky about it would be to have dark curtains on all the bedroom windows so that guests can sleep in on their vacation. The rooms got very bright early in the morning. Otherwise it was a great place for a family to stay. I loved the games and music provided.

Great house, safe area

This is a great property! Super good layout. One bedroom is on the other side of the house with its own bathroom which provides great privacy! The second two bedrooms are well set up and share a bathroom. Super quiet neighborhood. While we didn’t bring our dogs with us on this trip I definitely would in the future! Small fenced in yard, and good neighborhood for walking. We were traveling to the Kentucky Horse Park daily and this was a great stay! Only 12 mins from the horse park. And only 15 mins from downtown Lexington

Perfectly Charming Home

Y'all this place is perfect! If you're looking for a great place to hang out and relax in Lexington in between bourbon trail excursions or horse farm visits, then the Yalla House is the perfect fit! We really enjoyed our 3 day stay - it had everything we needed, and more. We arrived at night, and the directions from the hosts were perfect. We only had two cars, but there is room on the driveway for a couple more. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'd need to serve takeout or make a full home-cooked meal. There's even a washer/dryer, which we didn't think we need, but ended up coming in very handy! We loved listening to music on the record player and enjoyed watching shows streamed to the TV. The hosts have done a great job with updating this charming old home, and the decor is fun and inviting/homey. Both before and during our stay, the hosts were very responsive and provided excellent recommendations when requested. We'd love to stay here again next time we visit the area!

Main bathroom toilet was clogged when we arrived, and took them 3 days to fix it. So 5 people had to use the bathroom in the extra bed room. We asked for and were told we would get a refund, but now are ignored! They seem to be stuck on a 5 star rating when the home is 3 star at best in a 2 star location.
Electrical wires exposed.
Id say house is 60 years old
Toilet backed up into the shower this is how it was left after it was fixed

Cute, Cozy Home Away from Home!

The hostesses welcomed us into their cute, cozy home with outstanding hospitality!!! They were sooo thoughtful in sending positive well-wishes for our family member whom we were victims at UK Healthcare. The home is stocked with quality cookware and necessary supplies that were greatly appreciated!!! They provided some restaurant recommendations which were quite AMAZING!!!! Crank & Boom, Spaulding Bakery & Epping by Eastside come highly recommended!!!! We appreciated the quick and timely responses to our questions, including a personal phone call to make sure we had all the information needed to operate the streaming programs. The sunroom and backyard oasis are wonderful spaces for morning coffee and a backyard BBQ! We will definitely be planning to return for a staycation at this property!!!

Satisfactory, but...

Everything was very good & 1 of the managers called to make sure everything was ok, but 5 days after check out I still don't have my $3000 deposit back. I am a long time VRBO & ABnB client, have great reviews & respect for the properties where I stay. There was an option to pay an extra $90 non-refundable damage fee or have $3000 refundable fee charged to your credit card. I knew there would be no damages so I opted for the refundable fee. There have been other guests staying there since our departure, so I know they have inspected after our check-out. My cc was charged the deposit hours after booking so I know they could have credited me at least a couple of days after departure. Never had another host have a policy like that. Because of this I almost 3 starred it.

Best VRBO host ever!

We've stayed at many VRBO properties, and by far these hosts were the best ever. They really take pride in their home, and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you need, plus a few extras like great books and music. During our stay we made a holiday dinner at the house, toured distilleries, and shopped and dined downtown. The house and location were perfect for all of those things. If I could rate the host in communication, 5 is not enough, it would be a 10!! Definitely recommend this property for a Lexington stay..
