"I liked being in the privacy of the cabin. I could hear the freeway and train, so would want to be there for too long. Ok for a couple of days They said washer dryer available in the welcome book but then wouldn’t let me use it. I communicated and they only responded with a generic ai response such as “we cannot help you this is our policy” then I wanted Kate checkout after they sent an email and they said “not available. This is our policy” so I was frustrated. The place had masses of dust et...

"The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, including things like cooking oil and spices. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the listing doesn’t specify this). The layout is odd—the bedrooms are tiny and the beds are really crammed in there. The bathroom is huge, probably larger than the bedrooms. The "living room" is more of a foyer and definitely not set up for any more than 2 people. The furniture and decor is kind of random, like they raided someone's grandma's...

"Casa Jardin was perfect for my needs! I travel into town for work each weak and wanted a nice place to stay without the hassle of being too far from State Street and paying a fortune. My room was clean and easily accessible, with a plethora of amenities available if needed. I will be booking again! As a matter of fact, I tried to book for this week and wasn’t able to get what I was looking for because it was already booked up. If you’re interested, don’t wait!"
