Reviews From Our Guests at the Library

  • "Great comfy place near Greensboro downtown, Joy is a great host, very recommended."

    Isela (Jun 2024)

  • "The place was pristine and very clean. Joy and Eric had lights and AC on for our arrival and it was a very welcoming space. The hosts were responsive and checked on us to ensure we had a good stay. Thanks again to the hosts!"

    Sarah (May 2024)

  • "Joy’s house was a great stay for our family. It was comfortable and cozy making it feel right at home for us. Everything was neat and tidy. Communicating with Joy was easy. She is friendly and responds quickly. The location of the house is in distance of everything you could possibly want to do in Greensboro. Well worth the stay and would definitely stay here again."

    Charles (Jul 2024)

  • "Very friendly and responsive hosts. The house was exactly as described. If you are looking for good restaurants close to the house, this location is ideal. Parking was a little challenging as we rented a truck, and if you are looking for zero-noise at night, the busy street in front doesn’t help, but that goes with the location. For 2 people is ideal. I would recommend it to friends or family."

    Karim (Jul 2024)

  • "Lovely home that feels very cozy and comfortable. The hosts were super responsive and proactive in communication. Overall we enjoyed our stay!"

    Bianca (Dec 2022)

  • "Joy provided the best of everything, from linens to brand new appliances to handmade quilts in all the rooms. She was an excellent host, even bringing us fresh eggs from her hens! The decor was tiptop, and the kitchen and bathroom have been completely renovated recently. The mattresses are new and extremely comfortable. We loved the close proximity to the downtown area. Our little dog had plenty of room. The backyard is not fenced, but we always walk with a leash. The only drawback is the busy street in front of the house. There is a lot of traffic, but we adjusted to it and did not notice it as much. If we return to the Greensboro area, we would definitely stay there again. It was a great bargain for the price."

    Melinda (Jan 2023)

  • "The house is very nice, very clean and Joy is an awesome host she is very responsive and friendly. The house is on a busy road so it’s a little noisy and a bit tricky getting in the driveway but definitely a nice place to stay"

    Greg (Dec 2022)

  • "great location"

    Candy (Nov 2022)

  • "I stayed at Joy and Eric’s home during a three month travel nurse assignment at Moses Cone. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with all the basic essentials I needed throughout my stay. Plus, the proximity to the hospital really cannot be beat - it took me less than 5 minutes to get to work. Since they are pet friendly, I was able to have my dog, Chloe, with me, which is a necessity for me! Joy and Eric are wonderful hosts and very kind and thoughtful people! It’s obvious that they want you to have the best stay possible. They were always easy to reach and very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I would definitely stay at any of their rentals in the future!"
