It is very convenient to MSU’s campus. Would stay again. My only complaint is there was only one partial roll of toilet paper and no dishwashing pods. ##### Erin S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misty P. 16 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute House & Lovely Backyard We stayed to attend our daughter's graduation from MSU. Location is close to everything including the campus. The house was perfect for us with two large bedrooms. Very cute and homey. They have everything you need. The backyard is large and fenced in with plenty of seating and string lights for ambiance in the evenings. I would caution that if any travelers are sensitive to fragrance, which we are, there were 4 Glade Plugins in the home and the fragrance was rather overpowering. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this property again. ##### Misty P. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leslie P. 28 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Didn’t meet expectations Unfortunately it was very disappointing, especially for the price point. This is likely the worst, most costly, VRBO experience I have ever had. I booked this home because we intended to host a tailgate in the back yard for my boyfriend’s son and his friends after the MS State game. The outdoor lighting has fallen down, there was broken glass on the porch. Trash from the previous renter was piled high, and outside of the cans (see photo). It smelled terrible. My boyfriend attempted to clean the trash up; however, critters got into it overnight. The odor permeated into the back yard and also into bedroom adjacent to the carport. The entire exterior of the house was completely unkept. We could not host at the house as planned. While inside was as advertised, there was no toilet paper or paper towels. The bathroom sink also slow drains; we had to brush our teeth in the kitchen sink. ##### Leslie P.
