Cozy downtown studio!

JillRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a wonderful place to stay in downtown Waverly Tim was the best host he gave me upfront information that was very helpful and checking in into his studio apartment. During the day, he stayed in communication with us to make sure everything was perfect and then he let us know what was expected of us before we left so it may check out super easy. We would definitely recommend his space and renting from him.

Spacious 3 BR by Allen Hospital

CarlaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

I cannot say how lucky we were to find Sydney’s place. It was steps away from Allen Hospital where my husband had surgery. To be able to safely walk to and from the hospital multiple times a day and for my husband’s peace of mind for my safety was huge. As an Airbnb host myself, I could not be any happier with the accommodations. Well appointed, cozy, and great communication with Sydney. Hope not to come back, but recommend it highly to those in our position. Thank you so much.

An open living area features a comfortable sectional sofa and a decorative plant on a small table. Natural light fills the space through large, multi-paned windows with wood trim. A dining area with wooden chairs and a well-equipped kitchen is visible in the background.
