Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendan D. 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house is beautiful. Decorated with exceptional attention to detail, the place is perfect for two couples, a family of 4 or more. Allison was very responsive, made sure we had a smooth check in process, and left us some surprise treats for our arrival. There is one bathroom for 2 rooms ( Or 3 if someone is staying in the study), but the toilet is separately accessed from the shower/sinks area so it isn't the inconvenience you'd imagine. The neighborhood is lovely, and a 25 minute walk to Notre Dame campus, 5 minute Uber. Highly recommend staying here. ##### Brendan D.
