Ames Stadium Stroll - Spacious 3 Bed/2 Bath Home

Rental was sparse. Very little decor. Old home. Worn hardwood. Air conditioning only worked for first floor. None of us slept because 2 out of the 3 bedrooms were so hot. Searched for box fans but couldn’t find any. When the a/c was turned down the 3rd room was the only room that got the cooler air and then that room was freezing. Mattress were thin and covered in plastic. Nice yard but no furniture to enjoy it. This home has a lot potential but still has work to be done to get there.

Not up to my standards for a VRBO rental - meaning it does not feel like home when you walk in. There are no lamps in any room, walls are bare with the exception of a hanging cutting board. The large sectional is the only piece of comfortable furniture in the living room. Not great for a group that wants to sit and socialize. The backyard is fabulous but bring your own chairs. The kitchen is sparsely equipped which made cooking a challenge - no foil, one small sharp knife, dishes were not clean, no salt/pepper, etc. In my VRBO experiences, rentals have all of these small amenities that convey comfort. When I am on vacation, I don’t intend to bring or purchase any of these items. Mattresses are covered in plastic with no mattress pad between the plastic and sheet. I understand the need for protecting the mattress, but this does not make the beds comfortable or cozy. The house feels it is in mid-reno but has huge potential. Small details and additional amenities would make a huge improvement. This may feel like a harsh review.When I rent a VRBO I anticipate a space that is not like a hotel - that feels like home. In a college town it may be hard.However, I’ve stayed in another Ames rental that was absolutely fabulous- but not big enough for my group this year.

Nice, clean, accommodating and close to what we needed

Easy to find, host answered questions quickly, off street parking.

The place was clean and nice! The beds are not good. We stayed one night and enjoyed our stay!

Nice property, easy check in and out, and good location.

Great location, walking distance to ISU campus.

Easy to get to. Had everything we needed. Very clean. Plenty of parking

Great location!

The property was clean, but had very basic furnishings. I would consider this a bare bones rental. It has the things you need, but no extras. We had trouble with the water being shut off by the city for repair work and wound up leaving early, but the host did refund us for one evening.

Perfect location for ISU events. Cute house, would definitely stay again.

Perfect location with proximity to ISU campus and walking distance to Hilton coliseum and Jack Trice Stadium. It's an older home with creaky steps and worn hard wood floors but it was clean and comfortable. The host, Becca, was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to all questions and request. Hope to return again!

Super cute home close to campus. Becca was a great host and very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

Nice location, close to campus.

Great location for Cyclone events! Walked 5 minutes to Hilton Coliseum for a basketball game! Ample room downstairs and up! Would definitely stay again while visiting Ames.
