We had a several day event at the Topeka Capitol building. The house fit our needs well. It was clean and had good parking for 2 possibly 3 cars in driveway. The beds were comfortable and towels soft.

We were in Topeka for a family reunion and loved having our own place to get away to. The house was great, the neighborhood was quiet. And the toy box was a great bonus for our little girl! Thank you very much!

This property is just what we needed for our family. Everyone had their own room, meaning the kids’ bedtime was not shared and all got restful sleep. An added bonus were the books and toys already there for the children!

Everything was nice and neat when we arrived. The owner had a binder full of helpful information which was great. TV was easy to work. The driveway was long for multiple cars to fit which was also great. Very pleased with our stay!

The house was as advertised. There were two elderly people staying w my son and I. It was nice having the two bedrooms on the main floor and two upstairs. One bedroom got pretty warm at night (summer stay). Having two bathrooms was so nice. The house has been updated. The kitchen table was nice for evening meals and plenty of seating to relax and watch tv. On the downside my car got broken into while parked in the driveway overnight. The homeowner was very responsive to any and all questions and concerns.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! That house is just lovely. So much space! The house was super clean. The kitchen was great, we cooked all our meals there. No need to go out when it was so cold. Great neighborhood and location. Could not have asked for more!

House had an odor like an old farm house. Basement was dirty with no door. Furniture and bedspread had stains. Not at all what we expected. Would not stay here again.

Some disrepair, railings not secure, downstairs bathroom door locks you in, doors through out dont shut, holes in screens, hole in downstairs bathroom wall, needs some TLC. Over all we enjoyed our stay in Topeka, beautiful city.

Home is very cute and well kept. Enjoyed our stay. Advice for a change of mattress for the main floor full size bed. It is extremely squeaky. Basement gives off a very strong musty/mold smell that comes up into the house. Humidifier control would be nice.

The house was perfect for 6 adults attending my daughter’s graduation. Although we spent most of the time shuffling between graduation events, we all had comfortable spaces to retire to in the evenings. The house has made the most of the space available and we all loved the update. We had one small issue with the house security the first evening and the hosts promptly fixed the issue.
