IU Chemistry Department

Our invited guest family found the home so welcoming. The check-in/out was smooth and accommodating and the time spent at the location was 'like being at home' per the guest family. Our department found the booking and associated communication to be convenient and thorough. We will definitely book this home again.

Soccer Camp Stay

I stayed here with my husband, daughter & dog while my son attended the IU Soccer Camp. The house is very cute & comfortable. Easy to get in & out, easy to adjust the thermostat to our liking, & easy to reach the host. The location is just on the edge of the not so nice side of town, but the house is well lit outside & we never felt unsafe. I recommend this house to those looking for a fun week or weekend in Bloomington!
