10/10 Excellent
"The house was just as Steven described it. It was clean and just the perfect size for the 5 of us. We were so thankful for all of the amenities (washer/dryer, Keurig, ability to make breakfasts, comfortable beds). The house was nice and cool on those hot Iowa summer days. We were in town for a ball tournament so we needed to have cold drinks and snacks for all of us. The refrigerator was good sized and there was plenty of cabinet and counter space.Steven was excellent at responding to any questions we had. We truly appreciated his hospitality!"
