Great host and Great location
We enjoyed our stay here. It is a block off Duff, so easy to get in and out. Safe neighborhood with ample parking. We had great communications from the host and the property had one of the best book with information. The house is older, with all the character that goes along with that. But the big three (electrical, plumbing, and heat) were not an issue. The host has plentiful power strips everywhere. The hot water was almost instant and plentiful. And with the snow outside, we were never chilled in the house. As other reviews have said, there are multiple units in this house. The other occupants were not loud, but the walls are super thin. The kitchen for one unit is directly adjacent to the bedroom in this unit and we could hear all their 2am cooking conversations plainly.

Ames visit
We were led to believe we would have the whole house. The people upstairs were extremely noisy between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am: loud talking, loud music. Turing water off and on. Our place was not very clean and the kitchen lacked basic cooking items. Not even pot holders. The garage needed swept out.

Ragbri trip to support a family member
It's a charming apartment & perfect for 4 adults to stay. I was clean, great location, and comfortable. Owners were quick to respond if we had any questions. We would stay here again.

Comfortable Apartment
The self check in and out was very easy, and worked exactly as described. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I slept better than at home. The kitchen seemed to be stocked with everything essential. The neighborhood was quiet, and conveniently located to downtown and to our friend's house. I would stay there again when we come to Ames.
