Thank you so much for staying and for your nice review. Please come back any time!
My partner and I stayed with our dogs at this adorable apartment. The apartment was cute, cozy and had comfortable furniture. The location was ideal for meeting up with our family and friends and loved the walk-abilty to restaurants and Hy-Vee/Starbucks. Our host was very responsive and helpful. The only downfall of the property would be that on Thanksgiving day the Turkey Trot placed a speaker right next to the building and it was loud. So no fault of the property!
