The skinny legend with the phat stax

So super cool, he’s a skinny legend, and thus earned a BANNER from me (yep, I broke Photoshop on this one …) after completing his second summer staying here for his internship!

I love staying with Jeannette.

She’s an awesome host. Interesting conversation and a wonderful place to stay. Clean quiet and comfortable.

If you want to come to the area and really experience Baltimore, this is the place to stay.

Jeannette is truly a gem and has been an incredible resource for me. I stayed for three nights in the Vivaldi Suite while in Baltimore to search for housing as I prepare to relocate for a new RN job at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. During my search Jeannette helped me to find available units in the surrounding area as well as neighborhoods further away.

I quickly fell in love with Upper Fell’s Point and am excited to have leased an apartment just around the corner from Jeannette! She has a wealth of knowledge of the area, joined me for dessert at nearby restaurants, and truly made my trip to Baltimore an amazing experience. As far as location, if you are here for business you’ll find yourself in a prime spot. JHMI is about a 15 minute walk where you can also access the MTA Metro for access to the rest of the city, multiple Metro Bus stops in the area as well as access to the free Charm City Circulator bus Orange Route with quick access to downtown.

In your free time, a short walk to Fell’s Point will give you access to many local restaurants, bars, cafes, dessert spots. This is a great destination to unwind after a busy day and socialize with the locals. As you walk through this very safe part of town you will pass many coffee shops and corner stores to help you along the way to your destination.

For the price the Vivaldi Suite is second to none. A very comfortable bed that you hate to leave in the morning, a full size desk, and a full bathroom. This is a clean, bright, and spacious room that makes you feel at home.

In my opinion, better than any hotel accommodations. Jeannette also has two cats and a small dog, these animals are charming and affectionate, but are also respectful of your personal space.

When I made this reservations I had many tabs open with many other options, and a read a review that said, “if you’re considering other places, just go ahead and book this one.” I am so glad that I did.

Spacious, safe, and welcoming. I give the Vivaldi Suite as well as Jeannette my highest recommendation. Welcome to Baltimore!

Jeannette was a perfect host.

You will definitely feel at home with all things you expect in place. Very friendly pets. Safe and cool. Very helpful she was that I would strongly recommend to first timers to Baltimore as well. Very helpful with her tips to go around shopping and logistics as well.

I used the Lukis Lounge for a quick stay because I was getting in late at night and needed to be out early in the morning.

The bed was completely made and ready to sleep in when I got there, which was a great convenience because I got in quite late after a day of travel. Temperature in the room was fine, with enough blankets if I had been cold. Overall an excellent option for a quick stay!

Very helpful with local tips.

She knows the city very well and can quickly point you in the right direction especially if you’re new to the city. I will certainly be staying at her place in the future and if it’s your first time in Baltimore this is the place unless you mind pets however, her mid-size dog is friendly and I barely heard the little guy.

She was super hospitable and was an amazing conversationalist. She knows a lot about the town of Baltimore and will even show you around if you want! My stay with her was 10/10 and I recommend her to anyone and everyone!

The dedication to each and everything including cleanliness and privacy is perfect for any age group. I would highly recommend this place if you want to be close to harbor..

I felt right at home.

Jeannette was the perfect host. Since I was traveling by myself and was in Baltimore for the first time I wanted to stay somewhere that I could chat with the host and feel at home. Jeannette and her home were exactly what I was hoping for! I felt right at home. The neighborhood can be a bit spotty, but Jeannette tells you what streets to stick to. In the morning I got a great cup of coffee and lox bagel sandwich at a cafe just one block north, then walked down Ann St. to the water and checked out the more touristy part of Fells Point. It was lovely. Thanks Jeannette!!

This was my 2nd time staying at Jeannette’s place, and I will definitely look into this as my first choice the next time I am in Baltimore!

Jeannette is a charming and hospitable host, and the Vivaldi is one of the most spacious/comfortable rooms I’ve ever stayed in via airbnb. Being greeted by her energetic dog and two cats every time I returned was also a plus. 🙂 Highly recommended!

Great location.

Walked to the many bars, restaurants and shops in Fells Point. Communication with Jeannette was timely and professional. Room was clean and private. Good wifi. Clean bathroom. House is lived in and as advertised. Walked to inner harbor in less than 30 minutes but would not recommend doing so at night. Great price to enjoy all that Baltimore offers.

Jeannette is incredibly lovely and thoughtful, and she really did go above and beyond to be accommodating.

The room was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, all sorts of amenities were provided. She has a very good dog and two incredibly friendly cats. She knows what’s good to do around Baltimore and is overall an exceptional host.

Jeannette’s place was in a perfect location for me since I was going to Johns Hopkins but at the same time I was able to do some walking tourism to the waterfront at fells point.

Her place is very clean, the Vivaldi suite is huge and private and it was full of thoughtful touches in case you left anything at home. I would definitely stay here again.

The Oasis suite was very comfortable and spacious with a beautiful bath. Check-in and all was made very easy by Jeannette’s very detailed and helpful website.

Jeannette was a fantastic host!

If you’re new to Baltimore like I was, then she is definitely an individual you want to talk to/stay with. I’m considering moving to the area for school and she really took the time to get to know me and my preferences and offered suggestions on places to stay based off of that. I really enjoyed how she was flexible to my needs and would either allow me space if I needed it or be there to talk to or go on a walk with if I wanted. I appreciated the large bedroom space as well as well as the private bathroom. She provided most everything you needed as well (towels, hair dryer, shampoos, etc.) She put together a great guide of the city which gave me lots of new restaurants to try and is something I will probably use as a resource in the future. I expected the street noise to be much louder at night but it was barely noticeable and actually a generally quiet area overall. If you’ve never lived in a city before this area has a mild level of noise and definitely would be an ideal area to stay if noise bothers you. Overall Jeannette (and her furry friends) was an awesome host and I would definitely visit again!

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in the Fells Point area of Maryland.

I spent the weekend visiting with my son Tim. During the weekend I injured my shoulder and the hostess was unbelievably accommodating! She even prepared several meals for me and help me load all my belongings for my long drive back to Virginia. I would recommend her place without reservation especially if you’d like to stay in a clean comfortable and quiet place within walking distance of inner harbor Baltimore. And as an added benefit she’s great company along with her dog and cats.

Jeannette was a great host – very friendly and helpful with local tips, directions etc.

The room is huge and has its own ensuite bathroom which is great – it was very warm when we visited and the combination of air con and a ceiling fan worked well. Jeannette’s place is in a nice area of Baltimore and easy walking distance to the waterfront plus many restaurants, bars etc. I would denitely recommend!

Great experience staying with Jeannette.

The room was described accurately–the value was excellent. The location worked well for me. I was at the convention center and the morning walk was just enough for exercise before a long conference day. I would definitely book again when in the area.

Denise

I had a great experience and gained a new friend!

Jeannette is one of the most kind individuals I have ever met. She has a homey spot in a beautiful place in Baltimore, and the prices are very reasonable. I stayed in the Shire, which was set at a good price, clean, quiet, and cozy. I am planning on returning to Baltimore in a few weeks and I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere other than with Jeannette.

Sophia

I stayed at Jeannette’s place while attending a conference at the Marriott Waterfront, which was within easy walking distance.

The neighbourhood is beautiful, and I found a number of great cafes/restaurants/shops within 10 minutes by foot. I only met Jeannette’s pets briefly, but they all have a lot of personality! Jeannette herself was very friendly and accommodating as a host. The bed was really comfortable, the room was spacious, and the private bathroom was a definite plus. I didn’t really have any issues with this, but one thing to note is that there was at times noise from the street in the late hours (people and cop cars, though this was on a weekend holiday) and early morning (cars, garbage collection) if you’re a very light sleeper (though Jeannette offers a pair of ear plugs).

Jeannette, Thank you soooo much for sharing your home with me.

It was the perfect home away from home. Your kindness, generosity and hospitality were more than ever I could have hoped. Thank you for inviting me to sup with you and Tim as well. Your (both) cooking was amazing. I shan’t soon forget this trip.

The price was great compared to others in the area.

When I first arrived Jeannette was extremely helpful in ensuring I get around the city fine. The room was beyond expectations given the price. It does have a tv with local channels but I wasn’t expecting that inside the room. The bed is comfortable and the rooftop deck is beyond amazing. I would definitely recommend this place or stay here again. I had complete privacy. Thank you again Jeannette your hospitality was nothing short of amazing

The area is nice and close to the really hip area of Fells Point full of bars, coffee shops, things to do, etc.

Jeannette was great and extremely helpful. I asked for a fan to feel more comfortable and she got one right away. She gave me pointers of places to go drink and eat. She was also a very kind person. The place is pretty much as described. It’s a basement, can’t complain. Needed to share a shower but she was accommodating and we worked out a shower schedule. And you’ll have your own toilet which is nice.

Thank you for being a great host. It was nice chatting with you on my last day. The security touch pad worked perfectly so I could let myself in. The room was tidy and I was very comfortable.

Easily walkable to surrounding neighborhoods and Thames Street (Fells Point). Very good deal for price

The Shire is great for all types of people. Jeannette is very nice and warm and is happy to do things with you and show you around while also recognizing the times that you want to do your own thing. She is also very knowledgable of Baltimore and can give you tips. The Shire was a great place for me to come back to at night as a solo traveler. The location is great, right in Fell’s Point (a charming part of the city). Thanks for the wonderful stay, Jeannette!

The bed is super comfortable. In fact, we slept better here than most hotels we’ve bedded down in.

Jeannette’s home is located in Upper Fells Point, a quaint and historic area of Baltimore. We walked from her house in the baking heat to the harbour, downtown and Camden Yards. There’s a corner store across the street, a 7-11 a block and a bit away, and a lot of unique, family-style restaurants within a five to ten-minute walk. The room is very spacious with its own private bathroom. The cats are friendly, Zoe, the dog, is shy, and the bed is super comfortable. In fact, we slept better here than most hotels we’ve bedded down in. Jeannette is lovely and extremely welcoming.

I especially liked the desk area & chaise lounge furniture piece. Jeannette is a very open & caring person & has sweet pets. Baltimore recently changed their public transit, & sometimes map apps don’t reflect the changes, but Jeannette recommended Lyft & I felt very safe with that option!

The highlight of my stay was Jeannette herself, whose passion for and knowledge of the “real Baltimore” was superior to any guidebook–online or otherwise–out there.

Without a doubt, Jeannette’s airbnb exceeded my expectations in every way, right from the seamless check-in, which was ensured through a thorough and accurate instructions on how to travel in the easiest and most cost-effective way to her place (see her comprehensive Handbook) to the spectacular 360 degree views of Baltimore from her roof top deck. The Vivaldi room was ultra comfortable, spacious, and stocked with art and reading finds from Jeannette’s extensive and impressive travelling history. As well, the private 4-piece bath that had a bidet function on the toilet allowed a charming and unexpected European flair. But the highlight of my stay was Jeannette herself, whose passion for and knowledge of the “real Baltimore” was superior to any guidebook–online or otherwise–out there. On my last full day in Baltimore, Jeannette sat down with me at her beautiful harvest table and mapped out a custom tour of the Baltimore to which very few tourists venture. With her wonderful roommate Tim as driver, we drove to the landmarks of the 2015 riots with Jeannette providing vital sociocultural and historical contexts. We even stopped and shot hoops at the infamous Collington Square which featured the east west basketball game of The Wire. Even though my stay was a mere three days, I left Jeannette’s airbnb having experienced the vacation of my life. I will definitely go back and stay with Jeannette again.

Laura

Jeannette was wonderful and welcoming when I arrived.

After showing me to my accommodations, she actually put on the football game (my team happened to be playing on national TV for only the second time all year) and watched with me until I had to head to a dinner meeting. The place was comfortable, as advertised and very conveniently located. I would happily stay there again.
