We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sadie's. The house it so cute and comfortable. HUGE backyard to play in! Plenty of cabinet and counter space to use if you need to cook. A countertop ice maker!! That was so needed! Never would have thought that would be included. The weather was beautiful, and I appreciated the ability to open the windows and let in the crisp cool air. The thermostat was really easy to adjust too. The beds were very comfortable. Nice closets with hangers supplied. Plent of electrical outlets for charging. Games to play!! Grocery only 4 blocks away. Easy access to highways. Very easy drive to the stadiums. The neighborhood has some very colorful houses. I got a text every day to see if there was anything I needed. All in all the listing was spot-on accurate. Would gladly stay again!

I can't possibly say enough about how thoughtful Michael is. He was beyond thoughtful as well as generous with a wonderful welcome gift in the fridge. The building is so charming, bedding incredibly comfortable and the whole place had a feeling of home. A built in book nook for all ages added to the home like feel. We enjoyed the hot tub at night with the lights and it was wonderful. We truly had a great experience! If you need anything at all, such as questions about places in the area he is very attentive and responsive. He is truly what I would consider an A++ host all around!
