Great Stay!

I booked this location for my son who was visiting the area for medical school. He said the place was great. Very clean, quiet and safe. In an ideal location for where he needed to be. Helpful owner. Will stay here again if his travels lead him back.

A wonderful place to stay

I stayed in Sherri’s Capital Heights property in Baton Rouge. The location is nestled close to anything you’d need in Baton Rouge. Work, play, dining, shopping, exercise, it’s all less than a 10 minute drive away. Sherri was friendly and responsive throughout the entire stay. The house was fully furnished and stocked with all the necessities. I didn’t want for anything while I was there. The home is situated in the middle of Capital Heights and Steele Place. It’s an upper scale neighborhood with substantial property values and charm. The neighborhood is one that is safe to walk day and night. Nothing but positive things to say about my stay!!

In town to visit family

We were in town for a few short days to visit family. The water heater had gone out at the house but the owner called ahead to let me know that and offer to either refund part of our money or help us find another place to stay. We chose to stay and she did in fact, refund a partial payment back to us as promised. The house is super cute and close to everything. She even had coffee and waffles stocked for us! We will definately be back the next time we come to town.
