This stay as top-notch on our list. It is in the heart of downtown and super convenient to restaurants and MSU. It was surprisingly quiet and restful. The property was on the back side of a realtor’s office, so it was a little strange when we pulled up. However, there is a drive down the side and the property is well-lit and easily accessible. Yard had plenty of green areas to walk the pup. Home was spacious and had more than ample room for us to spread out. It was useful to have both a walk-in shower and bath. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed provided. Furnishings were crisp and clean. A few items were showing wear (coffee table), but it in no way took away from the functionality. We will definitely re-visit this convenient property on future trips! ##### Stephanie R. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle B. 23 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### College tour at MSU Pros: property was very clean and beautifully decorated. Had dishes and a few items you may need during stay (shampoo, conditioner, mustard, etc). Check in process was easy. Cons: the listing says “renovated space”. I guess that is true. It is not a house. It is an addition to the back of the rental property office. The floors are so uneven, it feels like you are going to fall out of the shower. Luggage all rolls downhill to the door of the bedroom. Right next to this property are 2 houses that are being renovated. One is totally being demolished and the workers were outside the front door with a jack hammer until after 1:00 am! Another confusing part of this property were the directions on what to do when we left. One set of instructions were on a paper at the house, another set of DIFFERENT instructions were sent to my email. The good news: when I let the property manager know about the construction next door, she reached out to the workers and they were quiet the next night. I hate to give a negative review as the property managers were very kind, but this property was not up to the usual VRBO standards. ##### Michelle B.
