Thank you. Cute little house in a great and desirable neighborhood in Iowa City. Super close to University of Iowa Stadium and Hospital. Driveways parking is a plus. Even though there is only one bathroom, it’s quite large. Lots of linens and comfy beds. It was perfect for graduation and game day would also be a winner!!!

Perfect for College Visit

My son and I stayed here for an Admitted Students Day at U of Iowa. The accommodations were extremely comfortable and close to campus — also Hawkeye-themed! Stacey was very receptive with messages, even helping us find a place for takeout pizza. For our first time in Iowa, our stay was perfect, would definitely stay here again.
