Convenient to Drake parents

This is one of several apartments in an older, subdivided house in a very college adjacent neighborhood. The hosts set it up well with basic kitchen supplies and and linens and we had everything we needed for our short stay. It was great to have off-street parking. The steps into it needed some repair and the driveway is steep, with potholes so I was glad we weren't there in snowy weather. The hosts were easy to reach and responsive. We brought our medium sized dog and he was glad for the (small) yard and sidewalks in the neighborhood.

Wholesome

The place was convenient to everything we needed. Very clean and welcoming! I would add some full length mirrors in the master for being able to get ready more comfortably. All in all was an enjoyable experience!

Lots of renovations inside — they look amazing! Cool, old house close to Drake. Small bathroom but had everything you’d need!

Great little place

Travelled into for a Muay Thai tournament. This place was ideally located in town for plenty of restaurants and also the venu. The ice cream shop down the street is delicious. Host was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Much appreciated!
