Cute and comfortable

The Ellis is so cute and comfortable. It was perfect for our party of 3. Great location, easily walkable to The Silos. Area felt safe. Host was easy to reach, the only issue we had was unlocking the property which was quickly addressed. Overall, highly recommend this property.

Waco weekend

Great place. Great location - a couple of blocks down from the Silos. A little noisy - train, dog barking throughout the night next door, and someone working one their car at 2:30am (revving the engine like a maniac). Could have been a little cleaner - hair in the shower drain.

Good but not great

Not bad but not great. Would be great for 1 night but we stayed 3 nights and it lacked all the little extras. First, the owner was nice to reply and drop off a few things the property lacked. And the unit was very clean. Room for improvement: No stove, oven or dishwasher (just know that as I assumed they would be there)! Cement floors felt cold; makeup mirror lights did not work; property is right behind an outside bar which played music till late night (one of the nights), not to mention a train blowing its horn every night/early morning. Upstairs room very bright due to outdoor street lighting, and no table lamps to make ambient lighting in main living area- it was either main chandelier is off (and dark) or on and fluorescent bright. Overall I would give it 3 stars. For the price I was expecting the property to be a bit more quiet, comfortable & posh.

Mom / Daughter Trip!

Perfect little spot near all the fun shops, eateries, and the backyard. The backyard grill has outdoor concerts so you have to be okay with that, which we are! And if you are going to a show there, even better!
