The owners were amazing with their communication. The apartment was perfect for a four adult stay. Two slept in living room and two in bedroom. Perfect size so we could all be together. I will stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here. It is a block off Duff, so easy to get in and out. Safe neighborhood with ample parking.
We had great communications from the host and the property had one of the best book with information.
The house is older, with all the character that goes along with that. But the big three (electrical, plumbing, and heat) were not an issue. The host has plentiful power strips everywhere. The hot water was almost instant and plentiful. And with the snow outside, we were never chilled in the house.
As other reviews have said, there are multiple units in this house. The other occupants were not loud, but the walls are super thin. The kitchen for one unit is directly adjacent to the bedroom in this unit and we could hear all their 2am cooking conversations plainly.

We were led to believe we would have the whole house. The people upstairs were extremely noisy between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am: loud talking, loud music. Turing water off and on. Our place was not very clean and the kitchen lacked basic cooking items. Not even pot holders. The garage needed swept out.

The self check in and out was very easy, and worked exactly as described. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I slept better than at home. The kitchen seemed to be stocked with everything essential. The neighborhood was quiet, and conveniently located to downtown and to our friend's house. I would stay there again when we come to Ames.

Can’t say enough about the ease of this location and the convenience of property parking. We had two cars and only needed to park one night on the street. Short walk to downtown , lovely Duff park, grocery store or their awesome library.
Our host was easy to communicate with and the accommodations were spacious.
The high ceilings certainly offered an open feeling and the AC units along with ceiling fan made temp control very easy as it changed often during our stay.
Being an older home, it was easy to hear other guests arriving , departing or moving around their apartments. This didn’t bother us or affect our sleep. We considered it a characteristic of this older home.

ISU College and Game Day Visit
It was a perfect place for us to stay for our trip to ISU to visit our son and go to the football game. We had a couple of our other boys with us and this rental gave us more space than a hotel room and worked well for our family. The living room had a pullout sofa and a futon so each of our boys were able to have their own bed and we had the bedroom. It was nice to have a kitchen where we could prepare our own breakfast with the food we brought. The apartment is in a safe quiet neighborhood in the historic area of Ames. We found it to be a very convenient location for us and a short drive to campus. Susan had everything ready for us when we arrived and was very quick to respond with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location in Ames
Just a few blocks walk to downtown center Ames. Nice bright little apartment. Nice neighborhood. All in all, a good place to stay in Ames.
A few issues: Wireless internet signal was sometimes weak. Also, please provide a mid-weight blanket. Sheet wasn't enough and bedspread way too heavy.
