    Came in to town for a tour of Drake University.We chose this place to stay because it was close and had 3 bedrooms and off street parking.We parked the car in the long driveway right up by the door so we could unload easy.Everyone had their own room and bed and the neighborhood was quiet and safe.Most homes on the street have recently been extensively renovated and are occupied by families. The hosts sent a message with access codes and info.Whole experience was easy and great.Thank you

    This was our second time staying at this house. Nice and close to sport events at HyVee hall. Same price as a hotel, but the kids all have their own room and lots of space to hang out!

    We did not like the neighborhood and did not check in. Many homes were in poor condition. A large yard party was under way across the street of over 30 persons at 2 in the afternoon. We were greeted by a young man walking up the street proud of his handgun. Our opinion was the neighborhood was not safe and we stayed at a hotel. Did not see inside the property. Lesson learned.

    This property was decorated very cute and was clean! However our door code never worked . The front door had a very large gap on the bottom, no window covering on it. The fridge and kitchen sink leaked. Overall the property was mostly taken care of.

    This house is a very cute and clean house. The beds are comfortable and all amenities are what was promised. This was perfect for traveling with my family that ranges from teens and an infant. The host stayed in contact consistently. Would definitely stay again.
