Rick is a very gracious host. Super friendly, responsive to all questions and concerns. My favorite things about this Airbnb are the location (it's right across the street from the university), the fact that there is a separate fridge/freezer for guest use, and the bed.  The bed was super comfortable. The price is also a great selling point!

This place is wonderful! I put down "amazing amenities" and "outstanding hospitality" for extra perks because Rick is first and foremost a great host and will make sure you are comfortable in this space. He was very accommodating to my cat and even let him explore a bit which I know my cat greatly appreciated :). Rick is also a great expert on meditation and other perks of visiting this meditation university nearby. As for amazing amenities, i dont think a traveler would be missing anything here, you have a full kitchen laundry etc! Finally I appreciated how big and spacious the house was along with the rooms. ll prefer large spaces and it was very private and spacious! 10/10

thanks for having me! :) chocolate appreciates the flexibility too :)

I came to Fairfield for a best friends reunion. It was a rainy weekend out PERFECT. We were forced to be inside and visit. However, my best friend has cats :) and usually an extended rnenagerie. l am a difficult sleeper and allergic to lots of stuff so decided to book a room. For the price, you are NOT gonna find anything better!!! It is a converted sorority house with both long and short stay guests. The amenities from wifi to tv to bidet to a telescope! Fully stocked il<it-chen with every gadget you in imagine and a shelf in the massive fridge for each guest. I stowed my Monsters and leftovers with confidence Lol. Room. 2N :) There are designated quiet times which are wonderful! l didn’t have to worry about loud raucous stuff or neighbors. The bedroom was simply decorated but the BED was super comfy with memory foam topper and nice n firm! I slept like a corpse and woke up refreshed after being up for over 36 hours and 12 hour drive. Shower Water was hot and overall house was clean. The common rooms were clean and tidy but comfy and inviting. I wanted to pick up the guitar and just strum. If you have never had a bidet experience, try it. I was amazed and shopping for one at home. I lust followed the directions on the wall and enjoyed the ride. Covid precautions are taken and sanitizers and masks are available at each doorway. Rick was so nice and even held umbrella for me as I gather my things from my car. My best friend lives in town and I will definitely be back!!! 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much for your hospitality and quick responses. I was so happy during my stay. The bed was amazingly comfy and location was perfect.

Host Rick met me at my car as I pulled into his driveway behind the house and graciously offered to help me carry in luggage. l was able to choose a room from all the available rooms. It was a warm room during the cold nights. Rick provided extra blankets and a comfortable chair for relaxing, meditating, reading, and watching the snowfall. Although Airbnb's description of the bathroom displayed only a picture of a tub, l was delighted to find a shower/tub available! It took a couple of days to locate the hair dryer and shampoo, but he found them for me. The kitchen was spacious with a large shelf to store dry foods and generous space in the refrigerator/freezer. The dining room needs some TLC but has such a wonderful feeling to it. l got to play the guitar that was available for guests in the common living room. The washing machine had an agitation problem but the dryer worked well. Host was alerted. Rick was very amicable and helpful to see that my stay was comfortable.

Dear Rick and Marie,

Thank you so much for opening your home to Marc and me during this lovely holiday season.  We were both so excited to see Christmas stockings with our names on them! :)  That was really sweet and really increased our heart value.

I am very happy my sister Kelley is joining you and the Delta Zeta group this coming year.  You take good care of the house, shovel the snow, you're respectful of women's privacy and space, and you are very caring, patien + loving.  I wouldn't have found a better place for her to live.  Thank you so much!
