Ames
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"Place and location were excellent. Host was EXTREMELY responsive and helpful. Plenty of space. Great central location. Easy walk to ISU stuff and campus town. Beds were comfortable. There were very minor things that the host responded to for a fairly new listing - minor kinks that I'm quite confident the host will refine. We'd definitely book the place and with this host again."
