Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location and a couple blocks from Iowa State Iniversity. Long driveway was extra nice and can fit 4 cars. House was perfect and we had plenty of space. Kitchen has the basics but not a lot of extras. ##### Brent Y.
