What guests say
“Great place to stay, there’s clots of room the house and yard are big enough for everyone to hangout.”
— Hector
“The stay I had was amazing for me and all my friends. Kennedy provided great hospitality by checking in on us, recommending us local restaurants, and even offering a mid-stay clean-up. The home was very clean, tidy, and the photos were accurate. I would definitely stay here again.”
— Danthai
“We had a wonderful stay at Kennedy‘s house! First off, I will say they are so accommodating! The House has very comfortable beds, fresh white towels for everyone, along with organic soaps and body wash that smelled wonderful! Also they even had a basket of little snacks in the kitchen. The neighborhood was very quiet and we felt safe! The communication from the host was next level! They definitely wanted to make sure that we knew they were available, even a courtesy check out call to make sure our stay was okay! Definitely will stay again! Thanks for top notch hospitality!”
