    The Airbnb was great, clean, dishes were well stocked, enough parking. It is a few minutes drive to the river and restaurants. The host was very responsive. The only thing i have issue with was that the neighborhood was bit sketchy. But overall great Airbnb.

    Although it’s a small place, it has everything you need. The unit is well-equipped with a full-size refrigerator, a small kitchen, a washer/dryer, and even food and water bowls for pets, which was a thoughtful touch. If you plan to cook, you’ll need to bring or buy your own seasonings, which is completely understandable. It’s a perfect place for one or two people. Parking is right outside the entrance, making it very convenient. You could comfortably stay here for a week or two without any issues. The hosts are very responsive and quick to answer any questions. The air conditioning is easy to use, and the surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, and other conveniences…

    We enjoyed our stay. It was a very quiet place night and day, super conveniently located. It was so easy to go to Downtown Reno and just to access the freeway. Nice park nearby, and a Raley's within walking distance.

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Ana! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our location convenient. We’d love to welcome you and Rich back soon! Safe travels!

    The duplex was very clean and comfortable . However, the outside surroundings were not very desirable.

    Property was very clean with a small fenced in side yard. Located near lots of food places and a grocery store. Public park only 2 blocks away. Small kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. Parking right outside front door. Near UNR Campus, and close to Interstate 80. Also not far from Downtown and Riverwalk. Quaint & clean little property.

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Cheryl, for your thoughtful feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and found our property convenient. I appreciate you bringing the situation to my attention.

    We were in Reno for my husband’s bowling tournament at the National Bowling Center. Michael’s property was within easy driving distance. Most importantly, the space was comfortable and well appointed. I’m obsessed with the floors! Kitchen was well stocked with glassware, utensils, plates, coffee maker, and pots and pans. The walk-in closet in the bedroom so spacious! I also worked remotely and the WiFi connection was solid. We had a wonderful stay!

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Mayella! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our property comfortable and convenient. Your kind words about the space mean a lot to us. We can't wait to welcome you back on your next trip to Reno!

    Great stay! The hosts were very responsive and accommodating throughout. I stayed for about a month and the space itself was cozy and well-maintained. Fully stocked kitchen and two parking spots up front. The location is great - close to UNR and in a convenient area. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Janilynn! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found our space cozy and well-maintained. Your recommendation means the world to us. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another visit!

    Michael's listing was the perfect comfortable getaway for me for over a month. The kitchen was fully stocked, they even had an airfryer! The rental is nicely furnished and very clean. The location is ideal for walking to Rancho San Rafael Park, downtown coffee shops, restaurants, and the river path to Idle Wild Park. The only drawback was the freeway noise when the windows were open. When the windows were closed, the noise wasn't a problem. Overall, the place was perfect for me, and the host was great.

    Duvoire replied: Kerry, thank you for your wonderful feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our location ideal. Your insights are invaluable, and I appreciate your suggestions. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

    the hosts were very responsive and checked in on us multiple times during our stay. This was conveniently located in the city, and felt quiet even though it's close to main roads. We would definitely stay again!

    Stay was perfect, dog friendly and quiet. Minutes from restaurants and casinos. Enjoyed well equiped kitchen and two parking spaces directly in front. Both hosts were extremely responsive and attentive throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

    We spent three nights here in January. It’s a cozy duplex located conveniently close to I-80, though it wasn’t too noisy. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is fairly small, but totally functional. The neighborhood is easy to navigate on foot or by car.

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Lukas, for your thoughtful feedback! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our cozy duplex. Your notes on cleanliness are invaluable for our improvement. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great visit!

    Michael’s place was perfect for our needs. Our stay included Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years and his home was warm and cozy for the holidays! As others mentioned in past reviews, the rental was super clean and uncluttered, making it easy to move in and feel right at home. We loved the proximity to Rancho San Rafael and other neighborhood parks. We were also close to downtown activities, and this would be a great place to stay during summer festival season! Michael’s communications were absolutely top notch, always friendly and timely. We would absolutely stay here again!

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Cheryl! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and found our home cozy for the holidays. Your kind words about cleanliness and communication mean a lot. We can't wait to welcome you back for future visits!

    Best airbnb we could’ve chosen to stay for a little over a week while we waited to move into our new home!! 10/10 recommend. Thaaron and Michael were very responsive through our whole stay. The space is perfect for 2 people and 2 dogs. All the amenities are great! The decor is so beautiful and the bathroom felt so fresh, clean and stocked! The kitchen is also fully stocked. We would absolutely stay again! The only recommendation for a change that I would suggest would be lighting in the yard for those nighttime potty trips for the pups.

    Duvoire replied: Thank you, Eryn! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found our space perfect for you and your pups. Your feedback on yard lighting is appreciated and will be considered. We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit!

    Unit is half of a tiny duplex in a depressing loction next to a concrete bridge abutment and the dark, unmaintained space below the bridge, about 50 yards from Interstate Route 80. Parking spaces are for compact cars. “Fenced in yard” is a dog run. No covering on kitchen window allowing neighbors visibility. “Dedicated work space” is a high table with two stools under it and is also the only eating area. No clothes closet. First night no sleep due to traffic noise and lack of heat. Little sleep after that. Third night observed suspicious behavior under the bridge 30 feet from front door and called 911. Began to look for alternative and 6th night, canceled one month reservation and moved…

    Duvoire replied: I’m truly sorry to hear this, as I take great pride in providing clean, comfortable, and well-maintained homes. This review doesn’t reflect the home or the care I put into hosting. The listing photos and description clearly show the layout, workspace, and convenient downtown Reno location, a spot many guests choose…

    Michaels place was great for us and our 2 pups. Location was super convenient and only minutes away from events we were attending. Grocery store was around the corner and a nice park couple blocks away for the pups. Place was super clean and had everything that we needed. Michael and Thaaron were super friendly and responsive when we had questions. Would definitely stay here again.

    What an amazing stay, place was very clean, comfortable and homey. Communication with host was great. Instructions provided were easy and accurate. We loved the little fenced yard for our dogs. We will definitely stay here again.

    Was spotless when we arrived, very comfy cozy place with a nice fenced in spot for if you have dogs. Was also very close to a lot of food places and clothing spots. Definitely would book again

    Cari · via Vrbo

    We had a great stay. The place was modern, fully stocked and conveniently located. The only thing to be aware of is that there isn't a direct door to the yard, you have to go out the front and to the side gate.

    Extremely clean! The location was centrally situated to the areas near Reno that I had training in. Very nice neighborhood.

    Nice little place, perfect for a couple or small family of three. I brought my dog and it was nice to have a yard for my dog. Local park within a walking distance as well as a grocery store.

    The home was exactly as described! Such a lovely home, great vibes. Wonderful hosts who checked in to see how we were settling in, which we found to be added bonus. Centrally located. We will definitely stay here again and again. If you travel to Reno, make sure you check out this home and these hosts, you will not be disappointed. If I could them 10 stars I would.

    Staying in this home had several advantages, including its close proximity to downtown, a smoke-free environment, and cleanliness. Moreover, the cost of staying here was lower than that of accommodations in the casinos. During the weekend we visited, it was quite hot, and the air conditioning was provided by a window unit in the kitchen. Unfortunately, this cool air did not reach the bedroom, which only had a standing fan. We opened the windows at night to let in some fresh air, but it became noisy in the morning.

    Duvoire replied: Cristina we truly appreciate the review and happy you enjoyed your stay. Yes, it was unusually hot that week in Reno. Good news is we are install mini splits in the home which will make it nice and cool for your next visit. Thank you again for staying with us!

    Superbly equipped accommodation, has everything you could possibly need while on vacation. Even though the unit is part of the owners home, it is designed in such a way as to feel completely separate and private. We only saw the owners on a couple of occasions during the week, but they made it clear that if we needed anything, we just had to ask. There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area and we hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you Stephanie and Mick for making us feel welcome and thank you for the Cream Tea on arrival.

    The house felt very comfortable and clean. My only complaint was the shower water seemed to get cold very quickly. Other than that my stay was great!

    We had a lovely stay in Reno. Originally here for a concert, we added mountain biking and climbing to our trip! The unit was very charming, loved the coffee cups, and the office table was useful. Our dog was so spoiled, her own yard, and right around the corner from a dog park! The owner was easy to message and quick to help make it a great experience. The yard was cleaned up nice which our dog enjoyed.

    Very Dissappointing

    Not as advertised. Way too many emails from the owners. Like 20 for a four day stay. They tried to bill me for the stay twice. At 7:30 on departure day, they had a construction crew in the back yard banging, sawing and grinding. They blocked me in and I had to ask three times for them to move their truck, trying to get to a meeting. Departure was at 11 The owner told me they were supposed to have come after I left. Yeah right. Bed was creaky and mattress was uncomfortable. Ten pillows most unusable stacked on the bed and the couch. Broken leg on coffee table. Property is very small with no dishwasher. No rail to enter a steep stoop and then up again through the front door. Electronic lock…

    I was in town for a business conference at the college and this spot was very close to the arena. Micheal was very responsive and attentive to anything that came up or any questions we had during our stay. This spot is a hidden Gem! Close to a nice neighborhood, close to downtown, everything was 10 min away, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Will definitely book again if available in the future!

    I rented Michael’s Airbnb for my sister and her husband while they were waiting to move into their home. They loved their stay; saying it was immaculate and beautifully decorated ! I was the one to communicate with Michael. He was immediate in his responses, polite and friendly. I will definitely use his place again !
