700 Douglas Ave, Close to Main Street, Garage!

We visited Ames to see a basketball game, and this charming VRBO near downtown Ames was the perfect home base for our trip! While the house retains its historic character, it's been beautifully maintained and offers all the modern amenities we needed. The layout was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, making it feel much larger than expected. We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, complete with a Keurig and a variety of coffee flavors – a great touch! The smart TV was also a bonus for relaxing after a day out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Ames!

House was as advertised

Great place to stay, short walking distance to downtown restaurants, coffee and pubs; comfortable bed, charming older home apartment. Good parking. Communication with host was great. Would stay again.

Appreciated the parking spot in garage and charm of the house. Maybe consider putting in a motion sensor light by front door as it’s pretty dark at night. Overall it’s a lovely place to stay!!

The owners were amazing with their communication. The apartment was perfect for a four adult stay. Two slept in living room and two in bedroom. Perfect size so we could all be together. I will stay here again!

An older home that comes with many perks that make this place a wise choice.

Beautiful property. Fantastic location. Nice neighborhood.

we will use you again next time we are in Ames

We enjoyed our stay here. It is a block off Duff, so easy to get in and out. Safe neighborhood with ample parking. We had great communications from the host and the property had one of the best book with information. The house is older, with all the character that goes along with that. But the big three (electrical, plumbing, and heat) were not an issue. The host has plentiful power strips everywhere. The hot water was almost instant and plentiful. And with the snow outside, we were never chilled in the house. As other reviews have said, there are multiple units in this house. The other occupants were not loud, but the walls are super thin. The kitchen for one unit is directly adjacent to the bedroom in this unit and we could hear all their 2am cooking conversations plainly.

It's a charming apartment & perfect for 4 adults to stay. I was clean, great location, and comfortable. Owners were quick to respond if we had any questions. We would stay here again.
