Experience a peaceful retreat in a spacious, cozy home nestled in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk from restaurants, parks, and trails. Guests consistently appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, making it an ideal choice for your stay in Peoria.

Joseph responded our requests immediately at all times. Old house in a very good neighborhood requires maintenance. More kitchenware needed. A dishwasher is a must esp., for long stays. All in all, Joseph was a great host as he delivered our requested items. He even had someone bring a brand new vacuum cleaner. Thanks!!

Joseph initially responded to our request by using non-fragranced laundry and soap products.- Much appreciated.  
Asked for a home that was accessible (two regular stairs Ok) - turned out it was not accessible.  Towel rack was broken off so there was no bar but metal pieces sticking out. - Appalling!  Metal threshold to bathroom was not flush and had nails sticking up.  Outside had tub full of water with mosquito larvae.  Only a splintery table.  Yard waste, including plastic and metal garbage, was all over.  Windows didn't work - didn't close properly which caused the window to fall inward when an attempted robbery occurred.  No dish towels or sponge.  No iron.  Other than a couple of dish towels at the end, we got nothing.  Cabinets, closets, and floor dirty.  Given how disappointing the place was, we asked for some kind of refund.  We were given 10%, $83., which we found insulting and appalling - obviously not taking us seriously.  We definitely felt we were ripped off by them.

we enjoyed the interior design of the space, and that there was easy access to a Greenway where we could make a short walk either way and find good food, bars, coffee, and shopping.

Definitely lots of space in the house. We enjoyed the queen sized beds with hotel cozy bedding and lots of fresh clean towels. Decor was nice and simple. Everything seemed new. It was unfortunate to arrive to full garbage cans in front of the house and dog urine smell right in front door. There was an air purifier in an attempt to help. We just avoided that room since there was plenty of space. A few suggestions:  curved shower rod for more space in shower, higher quality shower curtain liner because it balloons up with air, and provide iron and ironing board. Thankfully my husband checked all the windows upon arriving per the other review because there was one that would cave in if pushed from the outside and got the lock components to align.

Joseph wants to provide a home comfortable house with hotel cleanness and he did that. The house was old but really clean and nicely decorated just as picture. Whenever we have questions, Joseph literally response in 5 mins. However , there’s some misleading description. The play set in the picture was neighbor’s. We have a private playground with nothing there. Everything else was pretty good.
