The home is in a wonderful neighborhood and was exceptionally pet-friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and Mei was an incredibly responsive and thoughtful host throughout our stay. We truly appreciated our time here and hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Thank you, Mei!

Everything was good, the only thing was the front screen door being jammed closed so we had to walk around back to get into the house. We also had to enter the access code a couple of times on the back door key pad for it to open fully.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Family Retreat! It was a short stay, but we would love to come back. It’s cozy and homey, the neighborhood was great, we felt very safe. Easy parking in the back of the house, as well as street parking. The beds were comfy and the house was clean. We hope we will be able to stay here again.

I really hate to leave this review because I had good communication with the host during our stay and my kids described the house as "cozy". However, when I woke up the morning of our last day there was a roach on the stove. I then tried to make coffee and saw and killed another. Before we left I killed a total of 4. I just think the house needs to be cleaned more thoroughly to ensure no one else has this issue.
