"Really nice home. Perfect spot for us to visit our son. Neighborhood is quiet, but just blocks away from the heart of the campus. Owner was responsive. "

Really nice home. Perfect spot for us to visit our son. Neighborhood is quiet, but just blocks away from the heart of the campus. Owner was responsive.

The property was lovely, excellent location for anyone looking for lodging close to but not right on campus. Definitely would stay again!

This bungalow was a perfect place to stay while my friend & I took part in workshops at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival. It offered easy access to a neighborhood grocery for an evening meal while we enjoyed quiet to concéntrate on writing assignments. The rooms were well designed for comfort & much thoughtful activity. Madonna was an incredíbly responsive host. Hope we can come again!

We are Vacation Rentals owners of 2 condos in NC that have over 130 5-Star Reviews each so our experience and standards will bias our review here. We chose this bungalow because of the highly rated Reviews but now feel those reviews were amiss. Many of the personal touches were appreciated but could not overshadow the liabilities of the old house or the lack of consistency in design and furnishings (i.e. plastic blinds, miniature ironing board, and cheap toilet paper). There were too many areas where it seemed the owner was just trying to get by with spending the least amount of money. And we didn't receive communication on entry, check-in, and the like until we called. The bed was comfortable but the LR would have been better with a larger TV. Having said all of this, we found the house comfortable enough. If there was a 3 1/2 Star rating then this place would rate that from us. However, for the money, we would stay in a hotel downtown the next time we visit (we stayed there the following 4 days and enjoyed the ambiance, comfort, and location. Bernie
