Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anita m. 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint & comfortable Cute older home. New furniture and bedding. The home is older but is clean and spacious. Carpet is a little stained but there is a sign asking for no shoes on carpet so I feel like they are trying to keep it. Anything we messaged the host about they were prompt on replying. The parking is not for larger vehicles, it’s a narrow entry to the parking area. Very quiet little neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. ##### anita m.

Property manager responded quickly to questions about opening door code, and oven not working. Close to NIU campus and convenient to baseball stadium to watch games. ##### Shannon B.
