Most of the neighbors are long-time residents of the neighborhood, it is a quiet corner of West Downtown.
Location and Home is amazing!
This house is perfect if you love easy living and lots of outdoor time. The house is well-appointed, quiet and private. The owners have everything you need there. You can just move-in and enjoy. The yard is gorgeous and a pleasure to look at out the window when working from home. The house is in a safe neighborhood and all the neighbors are friendly. I was comfortable walking my dog at night as a single female. Ester Simplot Park with Quinn's Pond and easy access to the Boise River Greenbelt is across the street. There are so many fun things to do and see on the greenbelt. I also enjoyed visiting Fireside Inn for a late-night cocktail. This area is so walkable that I would go a week without driving my car. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone who wants a comfortable convenient place to stay with easy access to all the best of Boise without having to jump in the car all the time.
Cool Stay, Great Location
This was the perfect spot for two people and a medium sized dog. The space is small and cozy, but there is lots of storage, plenty for two travelers. We absolutely loved the big windows in the main living space that gave us a view of the beautiful garden. We were there in the summer and it was so fun to see the garden slowly bloom during our stay. The location is perfect! Walkable to the Esther Simplot Park (where we floated in the ponds) and the Greenbelt. Also a quick 5-10 min drive to everything you need in downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, the only time we got on the highway was for a trip to Costco or to venture out to some nature. Great hosts with great recommendations. Would stay again if we ever go back to Boise.
6 Months at the Container Home
The container was great for 2 people and a small dog. It is a small space, but the owners did a great job providing ways to utilize the space to its maximum potential. The thing I loved the most about the property was the location. We were in a pretty quiet neighborhood minutes from downtown and also minutes from the interstate which proved convenient for my commute to work. I often took my dog across the street to the park and greenbelt walking trail. I also really enjoyed afternoon walks to the Hyde Park area which was a reasonable distance away. We were required to park on the street which worried me, but there was minimal traffic in the back of the neighborhood which was great! Overall, the owners were very reasonable and provided clear communication and a comfortable place to stay.
Clean, safe, and thoughtful!
The owners did an amazing job of thinking of everything necessary in the home. The kitchen is well stocked, I had all the items I would need, and it was gorgeous! The furniture layout didnt work for me, and the owner allowed me to move the items around. They also made a little walkway in the back of the property to make walks easier with my dog. This is the perfect home for students/healthcare workers- 5 min from St.Als and seldom will there be traffic.
Nice Place to Stay
Clean home. Friendly landlords. Quiet and safe area. I would stay here again!
