The neighborhood is actually really great and everything about the cottage was as advertised. Our only issue with the LOCATION is that it was advertised as a ‘13 minute walk to Drake University”. It definitely is not 13 minutes; closer to 30. We were hoping to leave our vehicle parked for the weekend, but due to the weather (90s in October!) and the 30 minute walk, we ended up driving both days. Not a huge deal, and overall we really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for this busy mom and dad visiting their twins at Drake U!

Perfect size for just the two of us and great location. Very close (10ish minutes) to lots of restaurants/shopping but quiet neighborhood. House was very clean.
