Good location
The location of the house is close to the Silos. Debbie, the host, was very helpful when we had trouble getting the lock box open. The lock box is very difficult to get open to get the key out to be able to enter the home. Ceiling fan in living room was missing light bulbs and globes. The bathroom floor is sagging by the bathtub. We tripped several times over the rug that was in the kitchen. The ends of the rug were curling up, needs to be taped down to avoid the tripping hazard.There is plenty of off street parking available.

Mom/ sister trip
Original impression was this was a cute rental because the owner has invested in cute decor, but as we started to unpack it became apparent that this place had not had a good clean in awhile, at first I thought it might have sat empty because their were bugs, debris and cobwebs everywhere. I reached out to the host and she was very responsive and even had the cleaner contact me. I made the mistake of limiting my concerns to 4 areas when speaking with the cleaner and that is all they took care of. This house had broken glass globes in the ceiling fan, rotting grease/with eggs under the decorative wooden cover on the stove, the only smoke alarm in the house was disconnected and sitting on a side table, and the wood floor planks were separating between the kitchen and living-room. There was also opened a partially used bar of soap in the shower. The host was really nice, if she committed some resources to really cleaning and fixing the hazards to this home it potentially could be a great rental.

Not what is advertised
We stayed in this house this past weekend. Would not recommend. House was not very clean and had safety issues. The fire alarms were not in the ceilings. The grass was knee high and very trashy. The chairs on the patio were torn and unable to sit it. Lots of trash in the backyard. The steps going to the grass weee wobbly and rotten. Many more issues than I can list.

Family Trip
Property adequately accommodated my family and me. House needs to be cleaned better before guests arrive. Neighborhood is very rough... We kept the doors locked. It is located on a very busy street... Can hear large trucks passing throughout the night. Aware that some of this is out of the owner's control, but would not return unless the cleanliness is addressed.

Sistercation
Had a great time in Waco!! The house is older so needed some maintenance. It was very comfortable and cozy! Decorated so cute!! Location was perfect for us we were no more than 2 miles from everything we wanted to see and go to restaurants in Waco!! House was big enough for all of us to have a bed and be comfortable. We had a sistercation that was out of this world! The property manager was very attentive and responded to us immediately if we needed anything! Thank you Debbie for that! Beds were comfy we all slept good. Believe me we needed it. The back porch was perfect for coffee in the morning and evenings. The kitchen and bar area was great and found a leaf for the table so we could fit all of us at the table to eat and play games! The kitchen had everything we needed to do what we needed plus some snacks and staples. The bathrooms were clean and had all the towels and wash rags we needed plus extras. The living room was spacious and with us older sisters we could dance to our oldies, Christian Music and our country! That was a blast!! The place had some damage to a floor between the kitchen and the living room. A little play gun display. I put that back in order my ocd kicked in!! 😂 leave a place better than you found it for the next guest is what I alway tell my grand kids! There was some street racing on Saturday night but the police took care of that! LOL thank God for our finest. Shout out to #Georges #Vitek #Health Camp greatest food and service! Overall great time in Waco! Definitely would stay again!

How is this place rentable?
I use the vrbo service frequently. We have enjoyed many wonderful places. Unfortunately, this property is not one of them. We all have the stories that start with-hey do you remember that time we stayed in that dump? This stay will live a long life in those highlight reels. I rented this house even though it has a lower rating than I normally feel comfortable with. However, it had the appropriate number of bedrooms I needed and a central location. The check-in instructions were never sent, and after an unanswered message, I had to call the owner to access the property. We were not early. Check-in was at four pm, and we did not arrive until 4:40 pm. The front ramp was tiled with very nice-looking tiles at one point. Since then, many have broken and loosened, only to be covered by rugs. This seems to be the theme throughout the house. The showers and floors are littered with broken and loose tiles. The laminate flooring in the house's main area is bowed and sliding apart. The owner was kind enough to place rugs over a few of the spots, and a yellow x over the worst spot. The flooring sticks up far enough for even the non-mobility challenged to trip over. Think waves of the ocean in the middle of the living room. Dead bugs, a few layers of dust, and things I am not sure I want to identify were strewn about the rolling waves of the laminated flooring. It matched the dust bunnies clinging to the ceiling fans and moldings. Oh and mold. Can’t forget the mold. Charging renters a $200 cleaning fee when they are the ones who end up being the cleaning crew, doesn't seem quite right. Deep cleaned and disinfected-not a chance of that. If you enjoy being nose to knees, you will love the couch. It gives you a sink down, set on the floor while smothered by worn out leather feeling. The beds are in the same condition. Lay gently and have a friend help you get out. The owner has a note pinned to the fridge with instructions to get the dishwasher to run 🤞🏻. The fridge is missing shelves but they left half a case of Yingling and a bag of chicken in the freezer. These offerings accompanied a mirage of rodent riddled dry goods in the pantry above the garbage can. The electrical situation in this house is a nightmare of capped off exposed wiring, dead switches, and things that hum with an electrical buzz in the night. Unfortunately for us during Christmas there wasn’t an option of moving to another place.

This house allowed our family and friends to stay together to help celebrate a graduation. It is cute and quirky but can certainly use updates starting with the flooring. The location to Baylor’s campus was fantastic but the neighbor itself did seem a little sketchy and run down.
