    A charming house in a welcoming residential neighborhood. The living space is on one floor, so the only stairs to navigate are at the entrance.The property was impressively clean. We'll be returning.

    This home was perfect for our first visit to the area to attend the University of Illinois football game . The home was very clean, well stocked and looked exactly like the posted pictures. The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything we needed in the Champaign/Urbana area. Appreciated the suggestions from the host of what to do in the area.

    Interior was clean and updated. Front porch is nice to have. Plenty of amenities provided. Nice neighborhood. Back yard needs some attention to make more appealing. Only room for one car in shared driveway.
