Detailed Review: The rental is EXACTLY what it says it is. A 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage type home. It’s not a perfect picture book home, and that’s actually what gave the home charm and made it more comforting. The beds/bedding were comfy. Very close to Baylor and restaurants for parents coming to visit. The home is cozy, and we had a great visit. The owner is amazing with communication, and the pre-visit communication was the best I’ve ever had in 17 years of using this site, addressing possible issues beforehand. The neighborhood is under renovation (as most of Waco is); that said, it is safe and the few people we experienced in the area were kind. We sat on the front porch and talked for a while and had a great time. As far as if being a loud neighborhood, I guess if you live in a very quiet area it is. There is a nice bar/grill spot a street or so over, if you’re sitting outside you can hear music from there. Inside I heard nothing. Neither bothered me and the music was actually nice. I think I heard a car once. As a nurse, the only warning I would give is that it’s a pier and beam foundation, so there is some sloping for older or balance impaired people. There is only one bathroom which did not bother us at all, but again for older or balance impaired people, stepping in and out of the tub is a slight change in height that you should be aware of. Other than those things, this is a great spot that we sincerely enjoyed. Will likely stay again when visiting our Bear.
