One of the best places I have stayed
One of the best rentals I have experienced. Lots of extra little touches. Communication with management was excellent. Was able to allow us to keep food in the fridge until we were leaving town. Will definitely be back!!

Visiting college student
This is such a great property! We were in town visiting our daughter at ACU. I would highly recommend this property if you would like to hang out & cook some of your own meals. Great location- very quiet. We will definitely stay here again!

Great house in a quiet neighborhood
We loved this house! Every detail was thought of and all the decorations so cute. It had all the comforts of home, and in a convenient location to all the new downtown restaurants. We will definitely stay again when we come back to Abilene.

More than perfect!
We came to Abilene for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. Everything at Eleven09 was more than perfect. The house and neighborhood are just adorable. The walk-in closet and full length mirror in the master suite fit the bill for us to get ready before the ceremony. The backyard gave us a very peaceful place to unwind, relax, and chat In the crisp Fall air the next morning before packing up to leave. The directions to get into the house and lock up were very easy to follow and we were even allowed to check in early since we arrived in town before the normal check in time. Melissa took the best care of us by leaving us some goodies in the fridge and being unobtrusive but readily available for any of our needs. Thanks, Melissa! I wish we could have stayed longer to fully enjoy all that Eleven09 has to offer.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020
