About the host

Host profile image
I stumbled upon the hosting opportunity as my daughter was attending ISU, then covid hit. My daughter no longer needed the house for school so I turned the house into a rental for others to enjoy :)

Why they chose this property

I LOVE the neighborhood. You can walk to grocery stores, Amtrarak, uptown, schools...the location could not be better. The trees are mature, the houses have character, the grade school is a few doors down with lots of life. Sitting on the front porch never gets boring!

What makes this property unique

Location, essentials and comfort. Above all I like to make the stay at the house comfortable :)
