Cute & Quiet
I only stayed for one night and the property was very cute and quiet. If you're into Harry Potter there were lots of little details to enjoy. I would have liked if the place was a little cleaner but since I was only there for one night it didn't impact me much. To be fair, I didn't have the chance to address this with the owner given I arrived late in the evening and left early the next morning. It was a nice and well equipped apartment if you were staying for longer.

Great stay in Pekin
Property included everything needed to ensure a great stay. Everything was well appointed and the owner went out of their way both with communication and supplying the space to make the stay easy and enjoyable. Small touches such as curtains allowing for the bedroom to be nice and dark were appreciated. There were ample pillows and blankets. The coffee setup was also a nice touch. We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a nice and quiet space to stay in Pekin, IL.

Family reunion
Location good. The bedroom on the left had very uncomfortable mattress! The coffee pot in the picture was missing. Had to repair door knob to bathroom. It was falling off. Handle on stove came off on one side when we opened oven door. Screwed that back in. Had to buy a battery for the fan remote in the room on the left to use the fan. Overall good experience

Just what I needed
My stay in Pekin was for medical reasons. Although I am from Pekin, with friends and family living there, my stay involved a medical procedure and a day or so of recovery. The VRBO experience was better than a traditional hotel, as it was more accommodating. This one was located conveniently in a quiet neighborhood that was close to everything that I needed.

Work Trip
I was looking for a quiet place to stay where I would be able to relax after long days on a work trip, and this house was perfect for that! The host and landlord were very responsive when I did have one small issue with the Keurig and they were able to replace it same day!!

Nice Stay!
I enjoyed the residence! The Harry Potter themed decor. Very nice, clean and comfy beds! A little more difficult for my elderly mother getting up and down from nice but soft, low furniture. I would recommend grab bars in the tub/shower area for us older folk. We had one incident of loud music in adjoining duplex but all in all we were there for 5 nights and enjoyed it very much!

Comfortable, central location
The house is a mid-century gem in a quiet location on a secluded court off of Park Avenue and not far from the hospital and Mineral Springs Park. The vaulted ceiling makes the home feel more spacious. The decor is comfortable and fun with subtle and obvious nods to Harry Potter. We had fun looking for the connections to the books/films. We did not use the kitchen for cooking, although it appeared well-equipped. The house served as a good home base for a family visit.

Harry Potter house
This was a good location for us while staying in the Peoria area. The outside could use some sprucing up as others have mentioned. The inside was newly remodeled. It was great having a washer and dryer. Shelves for dishes were a little dusty. Had A/C replaced while we were there. Would have liked to have had a little prior notice that there would be someone entering the house while we were staying there.

Nice place and plenty of privacy.
My friend and I stayed here and were very happy. From the outside it didn’t look like anything special but once inside you can see that everything is modern and felt very cozy. Everything was clean, tidy and ready to enjoy. My only recommendation would be to provide an outdoor grill for those that like to barbecue. We had a great stay.
