Comments Off on 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!

Close to Fells Point a great neighborhood and a fun time.

The room was clean and spacious and comfortable. I enjoyed having my own bathroom and a keyless entry. Jeannette was warm and very helpful.

I felt very welcomed at all times in this place. The Vivaldi suite is very comfortable, the house is very organized and the pets are a sweetheart !! For Jeannette I only have compliments. I am Brazilian and for the first time I traveled to the USA, my English is rusty and Jeannette helped me in any way she can. She is a person of immense heart. She was a great friend to me <3 Thank you so much !!

Love, Love, this place.

Super comfy and super quiet. The host is great at what she does as a result she will see me again for 3rd time in a row tomorrow. Literally has been a life saver while rotating her at JHH. Thanks so much.

Jeannette is a fantastic host. Our room was just as posted.

The neighborhood is convenient to places for breakfast and dinner. There is a beverage store on the block! Parking can be tricky but obtainable. Her pets are friendly and the room is large and cozy. The entrance door has a cipher type key pad lock so no key to pick up or lose. Very easy to come and go to local places. The area is quiet for being in the city and close to the hospital and park.

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.

It was my 2nd time using Airbnb, but I already know that she is the best host out there.

When you get to meet Jeannette, you will feel it instantly. The location, place, and environment were all outstanding, but what makes this place so unforgettable is her personality. She and her friends just made my experience so amazing, I fell in love with Baltimore, because of you! Thank you, and come visit me too eh!

I came to Baltimore for a conference and had a really enjoyable stay at Jeannette’s place.

She was very kind, going out of her way on multiple occasions to assist me. She communicated detailed information in advance and always responded to my messages instantly. We also struck up several friendly conversations. The house is located in a tranquil and beautiful neighborhood and I wish I had had more time to explore the area. It’s also an easy going walk to downtown.

Honestly I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for Jeannette opening up her home to me.

Between the 5 Star companionship her and her pets brought into my life, the peaceful morning walks to the harbor to grab breakfast and a coffee, plus a warm comfortable bed to come home to at night this was one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had staying anywhere in my life. Jeannette is not only a super host but an amazing individual, I’ll miss being a guest at her place. Do yourself a favor and book a most memorable night at Jeannette’s if you are ever in the Baltimore are

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!

The Shire is a great place to stay.

I have another stay already booked. Jeannette is a great host (don’t be deterred by her written requirements). Be sure to check out her rooftop and do NOT park near Broadway.

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 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.

I came back for a second trip to Baltimore for really no reason other than the fact that I loved staying at Jeannette’s place and needed to come back and spend more time!

She was so wonderful the first time that I couldn’t wait to come back. She is in a wonderful location and you won’t find anyone more accommodating than Jeannette. Anywhere. I had more fun hanging out with Jeannette than I did for the rest of my stay!

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.

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!

Jeannette’s place is a great location and value, especially for JHU public health students!

There is a rooftop! Her pets are very cute and sweet. I was hardly home while I was staying there, but it was a great place to come back at the end of the day and nice to have my own bathroom. Thanks Jeannette!

I appreciated proximity to John Hopkins Hospital (12 minutes away).

As advertised with copious notes, I was able to get in late, and appreciated the quiet room (& its large size) and ease of the neighborhood’s proximity for walking to John Hopkins Hospital (12 minutes away). There was a bodega across the street and 2 new restaurants nearby at the Jefferson Sq at Washington Hill, and a CVS. The place was very clean and had 2 cute cats. Jeannette was wonderfully welcoming and briefly showed me around the neighborhood in the morning. A lovely stay.

DO NOT PASS UP THE CHANCE TO STAY HERE IF YOU GET IT!!

My son and I spent a quick a night and part of a day; even though a quick trip, we felt right at home at Jeannette’s. Even though we got there later at night than expected (and in the rain!), her directions for entering/parking were easy to follow and she welcomed us like family. The Vivaldi suite was super-comfortable (bed very much so!) and bathroom clean and well-equipped. Jeannette walked us down to an amazing bagel shop the next morning–only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer! Thanks, Jeannette, for everything. from Kim and Ben

You are a hospitality Goddess!!!

The Shire was quaint, private, and quiet. I appreciated this as I was busy daily at a conference held at the convention center. Furthermore, I really appreciated Jeannette’s thoughtful attention to detail, especially her concern for the environment and love of animals. Finally, the price point was very affordable as compared to the big name hotels attached to the convention center. Besides, I’d rather give monetary support to the little people rather than big corporate. Thank you Jeannette for opening your home as an AirBnB. You are a hospitality Goddess!!!

Jeannette is a wonderful homestay host, she is warmhearted, easygoing and always full of passion and energy.

The two cats Olivia and Olive are cute, Zoey likes chicken, so you guys know how to be a friend with them 😛 My wife and I spent 4 nights here, the room is very big with a private bathroom, 24 hours hot water, the surrounding environment is friendly, 5-10 mins walk to Fells Points harbor where you guys will find a lot of restaurants and bars. This is one of my best Airbnb experience so far, I recommend you guys should try here if you plan to visit Baltimore.

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 felt welcome. Jeannette really cares about her guests and helps them settle in and experience the community.

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.

Jeannette’s place is well located, close to Fells Point with lots of night life and restaurants, and well situated for anyone going to Hopkin’s. The room is unique and very comfortable, however do take note of height restrictions! She is incredible hospitable, and has a wealth of knowledge about Baltimore. Jeannette, thank you so much!

I felt really welcome in Jeannette’s house.

She really did go out of here way to make me comfortable. I stayed with her for more than a week, including christmas and new year eve and it was really nice. She did actually willingly included me in some of her daily life activities For the room, I stayed in the Shrine. Though it is technically a basement, there are plenty of lights to brighten the whole room up. The bed was big and there were many blanket in case you are cold. There was also an electric heater for that same reason. However, be mindful of your height because the ceiling IS pretty low. At 5’4, I could stand straight up comfortably, but when I wanted to put on clothes or something that includes raising hands, I did have to mind where I moved. Im glad that she included the warning in her description. Bonus: Zoey and the two cats are adorable. Zoey and Olive might need time to warm up to you, but in doubt, go straight to Olivia.

Jeannette was very welcoming and friendly throughout my stay while still allowing for my complete privacy.

Location location location! Fells point is the place to stay and very close to the water front, tons of shops and restaurants. I enjoyed taking off early each morning and jogging along the water front. Jeannette also provided a free pass for one day at the MAC which I used as well. Room is spacious and has all the things one might need like hair dryer and q-tips (which I forgot)! Thank you Jeanette for making my first trip to Baltimore a successful one.

Truly, the Shire was very charming.

I didn’t quite know what to expect from the Shire especially descending the narrow stairs that descended into the little suite. Truly, it was very charming. It had all the essentials one would need (bed, toilet, sink), and a little extra (lounge chair, writing table, toiletry supplies, etc.) The ceilings are low! The height restriction is no joke, but I didn’t find it at all uncomfortable (I’m 5’8″) and actually quite liked the wolf’s den sort of feel. The real charm of the home though was Jeannette. She was super accommodating and helpful for city and restaurant suggestions. She is also an absolutely excellent cook! I had the absolute privilege to sup with her several nights and enjoyed wonderful conversation on the little roof deck that affords a 360 degree view. I would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to save some dollars and doesn’t mind a more homey feel.

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!

I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Jeannette in person, but I was happy with my stay. She’s very organized and detail oriented, so I didn’t have any trouble getting in and having access to what I needed. The cats and dog were easygoing. They liked hanging around and kept me company when I was having breakfast – interesting experience! The room is pretty much as described, and I was pleased by the indoor plants. I also liked the neighborhood. It has a quiet and calm atmosphere and those narrow facade brick houses are lovely.

Staying with Jeannette is like staying with a good friend.

This is not my first visit with Jeannette. Because I am going to Baltimore for doctors’ visits at Johns Hopkins, the trip could be stressful but it isn’t because I stay at Jeannette’s. The space is very comfortable and the location is great. I like to walk down to the Fells Point restaurants and coffee shops and walk to some of the quaint stores. Jeannette knows everything about Baltimore and will assist you with any questions. I will be going back and I will make sure I can schedule appointments when I can stay at Jeannette’s. I have had good experiences with Airbnb in other locations, but staying with Jeannette is like staying with a good friend.

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!!

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!

My stay was wonderful, the location is great for those working at Hopkins.

It is close and walking in wasn’t an issue, but it is removed enough from the campus to keep it calm and relaxing. You can also easily walk to all that Fells point has to offer. The room was cozy and comfortable, and the was host fun, inviting, and altogether great. I will stay here again when I am back in Baltimore.

The area is an older rustic/quaint/eccentric part of Baltimore that provides walking enjoyment.

Jeannette is a great host. Accommodations are great and were accurately described. She will readily accommodate your needs and will provide assistance to area sites, transportation choices and local establishments. Accommodations are very private and you can come and go as you please. Her place is located only a 10-15 minute walk to Johns Hopkins, the great Baltimore Pier area and local attractions.

Conveniently located close to Downtown, the Neighborhood is charming and Jeannette’s place is comfortable, it has a great view from the balcony and she made me feel like I was at home.

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.

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 one of the most helpful hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Jeannette was one of the most helpful hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Extremely welcoming, and from the first minute I stepped in, after just arriving in Baltimore for the first time, she was able to provide me with all the information I needed to settle into the city. Jeannette always made time for me at any point of the day, and helped me to scour housing options and target my housing search, and even helped link me with accommodating members of the neighbourhood through her networks. It was also great to be able to have wonderful discussions about everything and anything, including cultures from all over the world – she is full of great stories. The room itself is pretty huge – the photos don’t do it justice, and it’s very comfortable. Internet is fast too! There is also a beautiful rooftop deck to enjoy the sunset on at the end of the day. Of course, this is a safe and secure place to stay in a great neighbourhood, and I will definitely be visiting Jeannette sometime again in the future. Highly recommend!

Jeannette is so great. It’s my first time to the United States to finish my master’s at Carey Business School. And I have been with her for 1 week and look for more. She knows everything that I needs to know. Maybe even more. She can give you the right recommendation for literally everything. Also, it’s fun to talk to other tenants in house. I enjoy my stay with JB. And I believe I will be back and will recommend her to my friends.

What a great place. I wanted to move in.

Very cool space. The location is perfect to travel into Baltimore and walk or Uber to wherever you want to go. I was here for a weekend wedding down in Annapolis. So it was super easy to hop on the freeway/highway and back. I managed to get some later time down in Fells Point for music and conversation with friends on Saturday night. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Baltimore. I forgot how much I enjoy this city. More going on than I recall from my time working in and out of Baltimore.

Jeannette was a great host, very charming and social.

She provided everything a person would want for their stay in a new city. The room was good for me, I stayed in the Shrine (the basement room) as I requested for it since I never lived in a basement so wanted to experience that. It was well maintained, has a kinda hipster vibe to it, only the height of the roof was a factor for me, it was barely my height 5’9” so I had to walk around carefully always in the mind that I might not hit the roof or some other pipe. Anyways, stay was good. Thanks again Jeannette.

Jeannette even took us on a couple of blocks for a tour around her home to explain some history to us.

Jeannette was very welcoming. She met us at the door and then walked a block away to our car to help us with our luggage. She was very kind and charming. She cut up some fresh fruit to share with us and explained the city sights to us. We greatly appreciated her hospitality. The location was perfect for what we wanted. We like to walk and the home was a convenient several block walk to the touristy area but within a great neighborhood that we enjoyed the pleasant walk every day. The room was wonderful. It was large and the in-suite bathroom was clean. We loved the accommodation.

Jeannette is Baltimore’s #1 host for good reasons.

A little over two years ago I had my first Airbnb experience in the Vivaldi. Revisiting the Chamber of Tranquility this weekend was a great reminder as to why I love this app/service so much. The room is still as spacious and welcoming as I remember… yet, somehow, it’s better than before. I won’t attempt to describe The Vivaldi. That’d be like asking you to explain the taste of your favorite food. The best way to understand the awesomeness is to luxuriate in its splendor yourself. The Vivaldi is the best of them all. Do yourself a favor and book it now. Please, thank you and you’re welcome.

Settled a few blocks away from fells point, this comfy house also sits on a straight shot from the inner harbor.

Our host, Jeannette welcomed us with a smile (and her pup Copper!) and a quick rundown of our or living arrangement. Our room was far more spacious then we realized; fitted with a queen sized bed, a lounge chair, as well as a writing desk and two chairs. The bathroom also was a part of suite. There are plenty of family owned business/restaurants within a 5 min walking distance. And the inner harbor is about a $5 lyft/Uber .

The Shire is literally the best value on (Baltimore’s) AirBnB.

It’s roomy, private and has that cool quirk than makes Baltimore the jewel of a city it is. Jeannette is a stupendous host. If I were to only say she goes above and beyond for her guest I’d be understating her hospitality. I believe her warmth is the reason all of her stay booked for months. The value is just an added bonus.

Jeannette has made her place ideally situated in upper Fells Point very comfortable.

… and thought of many amenities to make your travels more comfortable. This is a great value to stay within walking distance to downtown Fells Point area of Baltimore in close proximity to Hopkins Bayview too. The small cafe Water for Chocolate has to die for upscale “foodie” comfort food- and Jeannette’s place while simply furnished is extremely spacious and has everything you can think of to be comfortable and feel at home. I look forward to staying here again.

The room is spacious with abundant sunlight. The bathroom has everything one might need. It felt like staying at home. From check-in to check-out, Jeannette was responsive and welcoming. She offered a glass of wine upon my arrival and we had a lovely chat about camping and traveling. I caught a 24-hour bug while there and Jeannette was so incredibly accommodating, going the extra mile to let me stay a little longer and then helping me find another place to stay. I think I remember her baking fresh bread too. And her pup and cats are a true delight! All in all, a wonderful value and great host that I would not hesitate to recommend staying with!

This is a great bargain spot to lay your head if you’re going to be out and about quite a bit.

Jeannette is personable and fun, and her home is very charming. The basement is Spartan but just what I needed on a budget. Oh, and there’s a toilet and a sink in the room with you, which is more convenient than you’d think! The price cannot be beat, and it’s a fantastic location. She is sharing her home, so there are a lot of rules. But really, with how many people she shares her home with, it is understandable to need limits. She is very responsive to texts and messages and is always happy to clarify and give a friendly reminder. One of the gems of Baltimore. Don’t forget to go out on the rooftop patio! Very easy to use the bus from here, homey atmosphere. Be aware that the basement is also partially utility space; but if you don’t mind that and can get down slightly steep stairs, you’re good.

I dare anyone to try not being Jeannette’s friend. You will lose.

Jeannette is a super-welcoming host whose place is right smack in the middle of the city so you’re never far from JHU or UMD. The bed was one of the most comfortable that I’ve slept at an Airbnb. Most importantly though, it was the best value for money.

Jeannette was very kind, responsive, and helpful.

The location was as advertised, clean, great amenities, great location that is walkable to nearby restaurants and harbor. If you drive, parking is street and can be tough at night. There were cute and kind pets, however the dog can have episodes of barking, if you’re sensitive to that (not at night, sleep was comfortable and quiet!). There is neighborhood convenience store right nearby. Was able to do laundry, iron in the apartment. Helpful Baltimore tips from Jeannette.

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).

I absolutely loved my stay with Jeannette.

Her place and neighborhood has so much character and was an ideal location for staying a short walk away from the harbor. Truthfully spending Friday evening with Jeannette, Michael and Tim was one of the most fun nights I’ve had in a while, I can’t thank them enough for their companionship and kindness. If you’re a foodie you’d be a fool for not taking this opportunity, Rico’s, Max’s, Thames Oyster House and Diablo Donuts were all some of the best food I’ve had in my life, and I covered that all in one short day. I could go on and on about how much I loved my stay with Jeannette, I absolutely will be back to stay again.

An enjoyable stay. I was in Baltimore for an Argentine tango festival and staying here at Jeannette’s place worked out really well for me. Even with my coming and going at unusual hours, when I met Jeannette in the morning she was very kind and welcoming. It is nice to stay with someone who enjoys hosting. I really felt this from her and would love to stay again whenever I am back in the area. Comfortable and simple, the room and house had everything I needed. And the pets were sweet companions.

The room was fairly large and had its own bathroom. Walking distance to the hotel district was about 30-35 minutes, perhaps 10 minutes to restaurants and bars in Fells Point, which is very nice. You do need to accept cats and dogs that are in the house, but they were fine and didn’t bother me at all.

Jeannette’s place was exactly as described.

She was warm and welcoming (I actually only saw her once- so I had privacy as well). She lent me her Charm Card and walked me to the bus stop with her sweet Sheltie “Copper”. There are 2 lovely kitties that welcome you at the door as well. Easy check-in and check-out. The Oasis room was clean and spacious for me. The bathroom does not have a full stand-up shower, but rather a large bath tub with a detachable shower head. Perfect for a relaxing bath, but not for those who prefer showers. Her website has impeccable detail and information, and she was also available for any questions or recommendations if needed. Was thrilled to learn that she walks Copper to a close lake and cleans up several days, and installed and refills dog clean-up posts. Pretty cool person and Baltimore native. Would recommend staying if in the area.

She showed me neighbourhood and she helped me with exploring the city of Baltimore as well as with my little trip to Washington DC. The room was very cozy and private. If you’re worried about safety – don’t be! Whole Fells Point is very peaceful. I was walking around Fells Point and Inner Harbor at 11 p.m. even by myself and I felt really safe. I hope that we will meet in the future and we’ll try Diablo Doughnut!

I particularly like how the room is setup and organized and felt like a mini adventure when you’re in it.

It was truly a new experience for me. Jeannette was approachable, and I appreciated her offer of drying my jacket when I arrived drenched. Her place gets booked easily so i wasn’t able to extend my time that I was hoping for. This place will definitely be on my radar every time I need a place to stay in Baltimore.

Jeannette was such a lovely host!

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. The location is amazing and within walking distance of great food, coffee and so much more. It was truly a pleasure meeting Jeannette and her sweet brood of furries! I would happily visit again!

So happy to meet Jeannette.

She is enthusiasm, patience and very talkative. Jeannette and I talked a lot, from culture to family, she has his own ideas, to many things. She taught me how to cook omelette, how to fight and how to deal with dangerous situations. During the days, I also meet a funny Hungary friend (Zsolt), he was here for the same conference as me. We spent lots of time together in this colorful week. Jeannette’s kitchen is a good place to talk together, with 3 lovely pets. Olivia, Oliver and Zoey, they are very lovely. they have their own territory and personality and all of them are very easy to get along with. Jeannette, Zsolt and I also play squash together in a club, this is the first time that I play squash. Very appreciate with Jeannette‘s great coach, we have fun with the game. Good Airbnb experience!

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 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.

My 2nd time staying with Jeannette, & Vivaldi is like a palace!

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!

Jeannette went out of her way to arrange for me to go straight from the airport to a baseball game.

She was a wonderful host. She has plenty of tips for exploring Baltimore and is always happy to have a chat, but does not intrude on your space. The room is light, spacious and clean. I would highly recommend staying with Jeannette.

Jeannette is exceptional host.

She is very helpful, kind, and welcoming. She knows everything about Baltimore, so an ideal place for new incomers. About 10 min by walk to JHH, and about 20 min to Inner Port – ideal location. This neighborhood also seems to be relatively save and quiet. Would definitely come here again.

The place is clean, comfortable and convenient. Most importantly, Jeannette is a super nice lady who cooks very well. She also has a good command of Chinese culture. They made me feel warm and at home. I will never forget this experience of my staying at Jeannette’s place. I am very thankful that you guys can be part of my life.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Jeannette, she is an amazing host!! I

I can recommend her without hesitation! She has great local insight where to go and even more importantly in Baltimore, where not to go! She helped wherever she could with day to day issues, the bed was very comfortable, the house is clean and quiet and the view on the rooftop deck incredible. She has two adorable cats and the cutest dog, all of them happy to meet new people, and they don’t go into your room unless asked by you to do so, but if you don’t like animals this might not be the right fit for you. For me however, the prospect of furry companionship was part of the reason I chose to stay with Jeannette, and I did not for one second regret my decision!!

Great value, clean, quiet, and has all the essentials.

Showers are on the 2nd floor which was no problem for the value. There are multiple rooms and the quests staying there were very friendly as well. The place is exactly as described. I was so exausted both nights and appreciated the privacy. I had an issue with parking and she helped me find parking a block away! I wish I could have stayed there under different circumstances because it is in walking distance to a lot of things. Will definitely stay here again. Jeannette is awesome.

I had a great stay in Baltimore!

Jeannette was a fantastic host — accommodating, friendly, helpful, fun to chat with, but also left me alone when I needed to recharge my inner introvert. The room was spacious, quiet, and clean, the home felt safe, the wifi was reliable, the bed was very comfy, and the water pressure in the shower was better than the Westin’s “heavenly shower.” I was attending a conference at the Waterfront Marriott, and while it would’ve been walkable in the daytime, I ended up taking Uber/Lyft because of my schedule. The cost was around $6 per ride in non-peak hours. I’m not sure when I’ll need housing in Baltimore again, but I’ll surely stay with Jeannette! And I already miss my buddy Zoey the Sheltie!

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!

Jeannette is deaf friendly as she communicated through text and/or spoke on Siri on the iPhone’s note app.

Jeannette is an excellent host at her unique airbnb. I definitely recommend other deaf guests would feel comfortable to sleep there if they plan to visit Baltimore. 🙂 Again, thank you so much for everything!
