Very pleasant, very comfortable house in a cool neighborhood. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. Plenty of space for a decent size family or group to hang out. Check out was very simple and easy.

Great spot for exploring Germantown

Great location! This is a clean and interesting shotgun-style house in the heart of Germantown. A block away from Hauck's and Hop Atomica brewery, and under a 10 minute walk from tons of good bars and restaurants. Owner was communicative beforehand to let us know all the necessary details. I would absolutely recommend this spot for friends or family looking for a quiet place with good access to the local area.

Wonderful house centrally located in Germantown

I loved the feel of the house. You could tell it had been there for a long time but was well taken care of. The beds were super comfortable and i appreciated that there was no TV in any bedroom. The wall of boardgames was a really nice touch.

This is a spacious property with funky decor in a cool neighborhood. Check in was smooth and there were plenty of supplies all around. I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it. This is what VRBO properties should be!
