About

If you're looking for an affordable simple, clean, no-frills stay this is it. You can enjoy downtown proximity in one of Boise's oldest business locations, The Burns Photography Studio, but don't expect high-end, just clean, simple, and modest. Many of the original eccentricities still exist in this slice of Boise history. It'll definitely be 5-Stars, but not Ritz Carlton 5-Stars. The Burns Airbnb offers one bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet.

Good to know

The Burns Photography Studio was operated for over 100 years by the Burns family until recently sold. There remains quite a few of the quirky, eccentricities of the studio whether in hardware, lighting, or fixtures. The property is wonderfully located just on the edge of downtown. The living spaces are large and roomy so you won't feel cramped. The main living area is spacious, light and has plenty of space to spread out. The bedroom too is spacious. Down the hallway you'll find the bathroom with amazing fixtures and finishes in a step back in time. The kitchen will provide all the counter space you need to cook like a creative. All of the spaces are clean and in great shape!

Other Details to Note

It's near downtown, so that means it's busy and has potential for noise.

This is a great location. You are right across from DK Donuts, so make sure to walk across and get one. You are also right across from Soft Serve, the newish soft serve place in town. The place itself is very charming and you can see all of the details preserved. The kitchen has everything you could need to whip up a complete meal. If you are in town for work, or need to be close to downtown, I highly recommend this place. Hosts are very responsive and you are close to grocery, restaurants, and Hyde Park.

Aaron & Kelly’s place was cozy and great to stay at. The beautiful walls and vintage accents made me feel right at home. Definitely a world class stay! I’d stay here again and highly recommend it to my friends and family!

The description for the place was very accurate. Everything was nearby from venues, the first Albertsons and a laundromat, Donuts, coffee, beer They provided ear plugs for the road noise. The streets were noisy from cars and people since the walls seemed thin. But the place was spacious and comfortable. The temp felt comfortable. It was easy to get comfortable. I enjoyed my stay
