With two distinct living areas at opposite ends of the house, it offers plenty of space to spread out. Two bedrooms feature king-size beds, while the third bedroom is furnished with full-size (double) bunk beds.

Everything was wonderful! No complaints at all! My only note to future guests- the driveway is a little hard to get in and out of (especially if you have a large vehicle) since it’s at an intersection on a busy road.

Very clean and spacious. Beds were very comfortable. Great location. Great host… Lance checked in with us a couple times during our stay. Loved that we didn’t have a long check list of things to do before departure. If there were to be any critiques, i would suggest a shade or curtain in the bathrooms and the house was very hot upon arrival and took several hours to cool down. No issues once it was cooled, though. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice

Minimum frustrations like not being able to get back in house after a morning out and owner could reset the lock without being there.That unnerved us. Also did not get arrival instructions until requested, which is unnerving late in the same day you are supposed to be leaving.

Magnificent House

We loved this house, the neighborhood, and our weekend in Baton Rouge. Further, this is the first time I have ever stayed in a rental that was significantly *nicer* than it appeared in the pictures. Great place house.The only thing holding back a five-star rating is that we had a (small) plumbing challenge during our stay; reached out to the owner; and never received a response. Overall, I would stay here again.

Excellent place and location

The house has been updated in the kitchen and bathrooms. The rest of the house has been renovated but still has the old southern feel. Probably the most clean property I have ever rented. 1.5 miles to downtown and plenty of restaurants in a 6 mile radius.

Touring LSU

We came for our daughter to tour LSU. This house was convenient to everything including dining, shopping, and LSU. The house was immaculate with great design taste and comfy furniture. Lance stayed in communication with us in case we needed anything. We would stay here if again when we make it back to Baton Rouge.
