Very cozy home. Everything you need is available for a nice stay. Owners very responsive when we reached out to ask about using the fireplace. They are working on having it repaired for use. Very friendly owners. We’d rent there again.

The yard was unkempt and there were piles of leaves everywhere that migrated into the garage and into the home through the front door, as they were a lot of leaves gathered on the porch. There was minimal living space, the mud room & the screened sunroom had were made into sleeping spaces. There were towels left in the washer and empty gatorade bottle under the coffee table. There was a potentially hazardous piece of wood in the hallway ceiling halfway hanging down. There was a hole in the living room next to the fireplace that was never repaired. There seemed to be a roach infestation on one side of the kitchen in the countertop appliances (coffee makers & microwave), & the dishwasher. The owners were attentive and kept having the exterminator come, but the roaches never left. I just bought a can of spray to keep them at bay. I never really felt comfortable cooking, more than just using the oven due to the infestation. It appeared to be a 2-car garage, but the owners had taken up almost half the space for storage. The toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, and laundry supplies were rationed and I ran out, so I had to purchase my own. I was staying over 3 weeks, so I required quite a bit more than what was supplied. It was adequate for my needs, as I wasn't really using it as a vacation rental, but more so a crash pad until my new place was ready. The owners were communicative & responsive, but the condition of the property made it hard to relax & get comfortable.

The place was clean and nicely decorated. It had everything we needed! The only minor issue we had was some of the doors were squeaky when people got up in the middle of the night, but other than that, it was very nice!

We returned to Topeka with family for our Grandma’s Memorial service. The property had everything we needed and was near the house we grew up in. We enjoyed visiting Washburn where my Dad attended college and saw his old Frat house. We ran the Shunga Trail, ate BoBo’s multiple times, and had lots of Dairy Queen of course. Lots of memories here and staying in your home made our stay very pleasant. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Home was the perfect size for my husband & I and 2 other family members. Well appointed and very tasteful decor. The only down side is there really was no easily accessible yard to use if you were interested in sitting outside. To get to The yard attached to the property you had to go out the front door & walk towards the end of the house through a gate. A little odd that no access was through a back door. The neighborhood is a bit rundown but at no time did we feel unsafe. A grill was available if you didn't mind using it on the driveway . Home was very clean & comfortable.

Had a great stay at this property, made great use of the kitchen with making breakfast and spending time with family. Appreciated the use of the garage for security. Ran a load of laundry as we ran out of towels for 8 people but the owners provided laundry soap which made it super easy. Brandie is very nice and super responsive, would love to stay here again!

The house was great. Older, but clean, and very accurately represented in the photos. Check in was smooth and easy. The location leaves quite a bit to be desired. Most of the area surrounding the house is rather run down. On 2 of our 3 nights in the house, we were woken up between 3:00 and 4:30am by loud noises and vehicles at neighboring houses. This is certainly no fault of the owners, but is something future renters (especially those with kids) should be aware of. The owners have installed a security system and have a camera at the front of the house, which did make us feel safer. There is very limited parking at the house, and I would not have felt comfortable leaving my vehicle unattended overnight outside the house. Fortunately the house has an attached garage that was clean and secure, which we appreciated. Overall, the owners seem to have done everything in their power to make the house both pleasant and safe, but the neighborhood is not great.

We enjoyed the décor and roominess of the place. The area around the home was a bit tired but not this home. My only suggestion would be to dust up a bit before an arrival if there has been a time gap in between stays. Also, the door knob in the bathroom needs fixed. We only had a piece of metal to pull on.
