We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described—beautifully decorated, and in a fantastic location. Everything I needed was provided, and the amenities were exactly as described. The highlight of my experience, though, was the host. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and was so accommodating throughout my stay. Communication was prompt and friendly, and she made me feel truly welcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!"

We had a terrific visit here. The space is little bigger than we expected, with a large, eat-in kitchen and a generous main room. The kitchen included all we needed to cook at home. The bathroom and bedrooms were clean and comfy. The owners were both wonderful hosts: very welcoming, clear with directions, and responsive. The small bowl of snacks and hot chocolate on the kitchen table was a nice touch. We are already hoping to book again in the future.

1BR Apt - Historic district near Notre Dame

KatherineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My mother and I stayed at Sharon's for my son's Notre Dame graduation. She was highly responsive and set expectations for the entry stairs, which we both appreciated. Built in 1886, the apartment was sweet, super clean, and comfy. It was an easy ride to the campus and great restaurants. We had no trouble with the street parking - the guest pass was easy to use. Her charming space is perfect for the Notre Dame enthusiast! From Irish Creme coffee creamer to Irish Spring body wash, it is Fighting Irish all the way. She even provided clear stadium bags, stadium seat pads, jackets, and blankets - all of which were deeply appreciated when the temps dropped into the 60s and we east coasters were quite chilly. I highly recommend Sharon and her charming apartment!
