Nice place, great location
Stayed here for 2 nights for a football weekend. The house itself is nice for its age. It is a side-by-side duplex - on occasion you can hear the people in the other unit walking around. But they were never loud or disruptive (you can’t hear them talking at all). The steps are narrow and somewhat steep, and awkwardly shaped at the top. If you’re traveling with someone who is very young or very old, that would be something to keep an eye out for. As for the location, it’s pretty hard to top. It’s a 10 minute walk to downtown restaurants/bars and a short drive to campus. There was a little hiccup when we checked in, but the owners responded immediately and had it rectified within 30 minutes or our arrival. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Place!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay while visiting Ames so our grandson could tour Iowa State. Communication was quick and instructions were thorough. The house was fully equipped, and the attention to detail was appreciated. For example, there were multi-outlet/usb extension blocks in the bedrooms and in the living room, plus sound machines in the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for coffee/tea and there was even ice in the freezer. My husband was impressed with the frosted mugs in the freezer too! The beds were comfortable and AC worked well. Bathroom shower had great water pressure. We even got a welcome gift! We would definitely stay there again and will recommend it to others.

This was our first experience in Ames using VRBO. The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. Close to downtown, campus town and places to eat. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. When we had issues unlocking the door (user error...LOL) Ryan called me immediately to check on us. My only regret was that we did not have time to take advantage of the bicycles and scooters :( :) Thank you for an amazing experience....we will be back!

The home was conveniently located to the ISU campus which allowed us to walk to the football game. We were also able to walk to local grocery store. Nice to have a home close to the campus when visiting students.

This townhome was perfect for my work trip in Ames. It’s a 5 minute drive to campus and even less to downtown. Everything you need is very close. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. And though decor was less important to me, this home is adorable!

Great Location
Used this location for a weekend visit to our college student. It's a very convenient location. Short drive, only 10 minutes from campus. Grocery store and bus stops were conveniently around the corner. We enjoyed the flat screen TV's in each room and the little amenities like shampoo and toothbrushes provided. Also, with COVID19, we did a weekend of just hanging out without going anywhere, and this provided us with an area upstairs for our child to study for a few hours, as well as convenient food pickup and delivery from our location. Will definitely use this property again!
