My name is Alexander, and I am a young sailor in the United States Navy. I enjoy traveling, surfing, and cool architecture. I love being a host because it gives me the opportunity to make a real impact in people’s lives. Housing can too often be unaffordable and burdened by uncertainty. My mission through hosting is to make sure that is not the case. I always try to offer affordable and fun housing, making your getaway as seamless and enjoyable as possible-because that is what you deserve and what I love to do! ✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

Great location and pleasant area to walk to area restaurants and shops. Prompt and friendly communication with host who was very accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed our stay.
Very clean, nicely appointed property. Cozy, nicely appointed and comfortable home to stay in for a family of four. Very nice little touches including cookies, chocolates, coffee/tea and fruit. I would stay here again.
The house was fully equipped with everything I needed for my 6 night stay. It was comfortable and cozy with plenty of space for remote working and relaxing in the living area. The location was great. Everything was nearby - Whole Foods, cute shops and restaurants. Also there is an easily accessible walking path. I will stay here again if I’m back in West Hartford and I would highly recommend it.
I rented this home for the bridal party to get ready for wedding. The kitchen was perfect! So many cute and cozy areas for pictures and comfortable bed for bride and groom to stay in after wedding. Thank you for making this special day even better!
Thank you so much for the amazing stay!!!! The place is beautiful, very clean and cosy! True Jem of West Hartford! We were here for my nieces wedding and felt very comfortable! Thank you for the wonderful TV set, amazing furniture, blow dryer and decorations! Everything in the house set up well and with love.
After a small glitch to begin the stay, which the owner responded to quickly, it was a pleasant stay. The living area, kitchen and dining area are very nice. So is the front porch and the fire pit is also nice although we did not use it. The half bath on the first level was a nice plus. The stairs to the second floor bedrooms are a challenge for elderly
Alexander was a very good host—very responsive when we asked questions. Very nice house and each bed room was spacious with a large closet and a TV. The kitchen was updated with modern appliances.
The stay was good. The house is located in a great area and very close to my family member we were visiting. I will stay again and make sure everything is in order.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you so very much! We had an amazing time start to finish. Your VRBO is so well located. It is beautiful and comfortable and we were greeted with pecan pie and chocolate chip cookies. We absolutely loved our stay and the Garet & Co show that we came to town for was AMAZING!! Thank you!!
Very nice property. I would have liked to have known that there would be other occupants staying in a separate, locked downstairs apartment. That part was not listed in our agreement so entire home should be removed from listing. Having the other occupants had my family parking in the street which was fine but I prefer to be parked in a driveway. There were no problems with other occupants, I just would have liked to have know sooner than the night before. The 4 rating on cleanliness was because the bathroom floors were not mopped clean and also the kitchen floors. I leave things cleaner than I find them but I did not find a mop in the house. All that being said it is a great home in a beautiful neighborhood and I would rent again. Also great communication.

Nice place
The home itself is lovely, with an eclectic decorative flair that I really enjoyed. I believe it is on its way to being a 5-star place with some growth.- nice decor, downstairs bathroom, art- large, comfortable rooms, decent kitchen and dining table, good airflow, but very dusty- very loud work was being done on house, when I was assured before renting there wouldn't be, which meant scaring my dog and causing her to bark for 3 days, no use of driveway or directly in front of house, noise, no use of torn up backyard and fire fire pit sitting area- dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, including parts to coffee machine, items left in dryer- no toilet paper, soap between bathrooms- 1 wadded up potentially clean bath towel in a closet, had to use cleaning rag as washcloth, shower door continuously slid open entire shower - but love that Japanese print, Shampoo, etc. in shower not labeled- upstairs window was left wide open with no screen upon arrival late at night; some downstairs windows left unlocked and some appeared broken- instructions would be appreciated for light/fan remotes, garbage rules- we noticed what appeared to be a motion detector on upper shelf that clearly went off with movement when entering room - creepy.Owner attempted to be a good communicator, but it didn't make up for the problems
