Ants

The location was ideal and house was super cute but very small. The sleeper sofa did not have a mattress it was just the cushions from the sofa. There were ants in the bathroom. The beds were not very comfy.

Cute house with fun decor! We were in town to visit my daughter at Drake and this home was close enough to get to campus quickly and provided enough space for our family to gather. The check-in and out process was super easy and the host was very responsive to messages. Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic Stay

The place was absolutely perfect, very clean and on a quiet street. The only thing was the Internet wasn't really working nor could we get the TV to work, but it wasn't necessary for our stay. Just something I thought we would mention to have looked at!
