Charmer wasn’t so charming
This house is a historic charmer with generously sized rooms. Very convenient to downtown, the Silo district and any supplies you might need, but neighborhood is a little sketchy. It was fairly clean, however, my 16 month old grandson’s feet were black after just a couple of hours running off some energy inside the house. The plumbing issue with the shower in the March 2024 review is still not resolved, and on day 2 of 4, we reported a terrible sewer smell in the house and never received a response from the property manager. Overgrown weeds for landscaping, and very loud street noise in living room and street side bedroom all hours of the day. Large cockroach in living room one night. The negatives outweigh the pros on this house.

Waco Eclipse 2024
We came to see the Eclipse of April 8, 2024 with the 4 minutes of total darkness. We visited so many things while staying in Waco and enjoyed all. The house is located just minutes from everything which was so nice. We loved eating ice cream every night at Heritage Creamery!!! We were able to visit the Dr. Pepper Museum, The Texas Lone Ranger Museum, the Suspension Bridge, the Chilsolm Trail Memorial, the Silos and visit several parks for a picnic lunch! We plan to be back to see the Mammoth Museum and visit the water park. Hopefully soon as it warms up enough!!!

historic home with a great location
Overall the property was as billed. Clean and in a great location. However; Water pressure in the master half bath was only a trickle at the sink. The shower in the full bath was very difficult to operate as there was really not an on or off position for the hot and cold, you just spin the knobs until you find the random point at which each turns off independently of the other. We recognize the property is a historic home and it has been well restored; however, these issues should be easily corrected with a good plumber. Otherwise an acceptable stay.

Great find
We loved the home decor and how clean everything was. the ease of check in and check out was so convenient for us. The extra toiletries were great when my friend forgot her toothbrush. The Queen in the large bedroom has a very nice mattress on it, I slept well. The home is older but charmingly updated except maybe the plumbing lol, don’t expect great water pressure but it’s passable. Location was great, price great, would love to stay again. Many thanks.

The house was central to everything we wanted to do in Waco. It is 6 minutes from Magnolia, the zoo, Baylor, Heritage Creamery, Slow Rise pizza, and the Dr. pepper museum. A great number of food options and ice cream shops about the same distance. Plenty of space at the home for 4 adults. There was a bunk bed, but we never had to use it. Am overall good experience.

Beware
I'm sorry but you asked. 1. Driving up house looked abandoned. Lawn not mowed shrubbery overgrown. 2. Kitchen hot water is a mere dribble after waiting 15 minutes. Issues with the faucet need addressing. No dish drain rack or rubber mat. One small dish towel for the week. 3.Two gunshots in the neighborhood at 4;00 in the afternoon. Not fireworks. .22 caliber. 4.Traffic noise is unbelievable day and all night. 5. One small hotel soap bar is inadequate for a week stay. Not enough bath towels for a week. 6. Front bed is queen, sheets are king, blankets are twin size. Really? Back bed needs a step to get in as it's really that high. I usually don't complain but prospective guests need to be aware of the issues with 2419 Washington home. 6. Needs all new water lines and a new furnace filter in the ceiling.

Strong deodorizer followed by a smell of sewer
The house was comfortable and close to most things we wanted to do. The problem for me was an extreme deodorizing smell that triggered my allergies. After it faded there was a bit of a sewer smell. The allergies made my overall trip less enjoyable. If a person doesn’t battle allergies I am sure they would be fine.

Uptown Tudor on Washington Ave.
Uptown Tudor-we were so appreciative of the wonderful air conditioning at the house with temperatures in the 100’s the whole time we were there. The house was always comfortable to come back to at the end of a long day being out and about. We appreciated the space the house offered with multiple bathrooms and bedrooms along with kitchen, living room and dining room. Loved the fluffy absorbent bath towels and extra supplies of toothbrushes, etc. The host was very prompt at replying to our questions during our stay. There’s great coffee shop just 2 blocks away or its a relaxing 30 minute walk to the Magnolia Press, so convenient location for those wanting to visit The Silo district.
