We enjoyed our one night stay at G‘s home away from home. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and in a good neighborhood. The bed was comfortable, kitchen well equipped, nice fenced area and no problems with Wi-Fi or television. We enjoyed walking our dog on the sidewalks near the home. The host was very responsive.

We stayed during our niece's wedding in Iowa City. The property is in a great location, very nice and quiet neighborhood but close enough to anywhere you may want to go. The host was amazing with great communication. She thought of everything that one would need to make a stay here comfortable and like home. My Mother-in-Law was even satisfied which is not an easy feat.

The home is very well-equipped, comfortable, and convenient to anything you might want to do in the Iowa City area. We loved the yard/deck, the ability to bring our dog, and the neighborhood was quiet. The Host was very easy to work with and fast to respond to questions. We would love to stay there again.

Great space for a family! The outdoor space was so nice. It was early in the outdoor season. The deck, table, and grill needing to be wiped off. Indoor spaces were very clean. Hosts were very helpful! The beds could be more comfortable. The kitchen space and living area are wonderful for spending time with family!
