Great Place!
A friend of ours stayed for 7 days, and then extended for another 3. The hosts were accommodating and responsive. The home was lovely, with a lot of small extras ie fresh flowers, drinks, etc. The location is close to all things Boise. I would highly recommend!

Cute little place
The house was great, up to date, and well stocked with everything. The neighborhood was a little louder than I anticipated, but wasn't too big of an issue after 9-10pm
