Our family was in town for move-in day at The University of Iowa. We really needed a place to stay that was convenient to downtown and preferred a peaceful place that would serve as a sanctuary from the chaos of move-in day. The Bungalow was the perfect place for our family. It allowed us to share in a family favorite meal before we flew home. The house felt like home and reflected the friendly and kind disposition of the home's owner. We have a second trip booked already and look forward to making it our home away from home over the next 4 years.

The house is lovely and on a quiet street. The deck is where we spent the majority of the time. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen could use some updated cookware but it had everything we needed and we did make dinner several times. The laundry facilities are in the basement so care is needed going up and down the steep stairs. Great updated bathroom! The house is very clean but a bit more cobweb dusting on the stairs to the basement would be beneficial as well as vent cleaning. Air conditioner rocks! This property would be the first place I check for availability next time I’m in Iowa City.

Great place to stay. We were in Iowa City for Graduation and for Mother's Day! Perfect! Loved the location-Super weekend.

The exterior photo does not do the house or the neighborhood justice. Set on a residential dead end street on the charming north side of Iowa City, the bungalow is surrounded by lovely private homes in one of the oldest parts of Iowa City. The two bedrooms are at opposite corners of the house offering lots of privacy. The decor has lovely personal touches. Beds and seating are quite comfy. An easy walk into downtown offers numerous shopping and eating opportunities. If you are a book lover, don’t miss the legendary Prairie Lights book store.

This was a perfect location for our stay for graduation weekend.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute bungalow. Clean and cozy. Appliances are old but well maintained. Great location that is close to all. The basics are here but no food at all Including salt sugar oil etc. There was also no directions outside of an email. Most places leave some information in the unit for guests.

Very cute and clean Bungalow

The location is fantastic. It wasn't far from campus, but it was so quiet at night. I slept like a baby! The owner was very attentive, and she will go the extra mile if you have an issue with your travel plans (which we did). We will be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Two of us were working remotely and at times the internet was a bit weak otherwise, our visit was perfect. Working on the porch was fabulous. We'll be back. Thanks so much.

We went to Iowa City for a college football game. The stay in our VRBO was easily the highlight of the trip,just a great place to chill out with friends, within easy walks of the university and downtown restaurants and bars.

Just a 20 min walk to central IC. Pleasant small house with 2 good bedrooms.

The property was close to the park, and close to the center of town. It was well-appointed, and very clean. Beds were more than adequate, and everything was orderly. An exceptional place to stay.

Nicely refurbished kitchen and appointments. Plenty of space, and location could scarcely be better. Lawn area was a bit rougher than expected. Single occupants should mind the bathroom door, which is prone to lock without notice. We certainly would consider rebooking for visits to family in Iowa City.

We checked in on a last minute trip to Iowa City and booked this property with very little notice. Madonna was very responsive and helpful in getting us booked, which we really appreciated. The house is great, felt right at home. We had plenty of room to just have some down time and relax, and it was really comfortable. Spent some time in the mornings and late afternoon on the screened in porched to put our feet up. Would highly recommend and would see if it's available again for our next trip to visit.

We loved this charming little bungalow. The location is ideal - set away on a quiet street, but just a 10-minute walk to downtown IC, Hancher Auditorium, or a stroll along the river in City Park. Very clean, beds were comfy, very nicely updated for an older house. Owner was very responsive. Definitely would stay here again.

Perfect for our needs.

Needs better wifi for watching movies from personal devices. Cable choices poor. Otherwise place very nice.

Highly recommend

This is a great little house with charm and character. Located within easy walking distance to city park and downtown. The host is very easy to deal with and provided everything we needed. Thanks!

Beautiful property and location. Excellent communication from host.

This quaint and lovely home is situated near the town and the college. Overall, a great location, adorable home and the owner is amazingly accommodating. Highly recommend this property!!

We visited a delightful 3 week’s time in this nicely renovated house originally built in 1859. In, or very near, the Brown Street historic district north of downtown, the bungalow is located among many magnificent houses of historic note, so walking tours along bricked streets are a must. Many fine restaurants are within easy reach. Spacious and airy, the bungalow itself is nicely furnished, spotlessly maintained, and well-equipped from kitchen to bathroom. Several sitting areas are available outdoors. We would recommend it without hesitation.

What a lovely change from staying in a hotel! We were able to walk downtown easily to visit our son’s restaurant and walks in the neighborhood were wonderful with all the beautiful older homes. We will have to return when the weather is nicer to make use of the screened porch!

Quiet bungalow easy walk to campus, restaurants and Kinnick. Owner is very friendly and responsive.

We are Vacation Rentals owners of 2 condos in NC that have over 130 5-Star Reviews each so our experience and standards will bias our review here. We chose this bungalow because of the highly rated Reviews but now feel those reviews were amiss. Many of the personal touches were appreciated but could not overshadow the liabilities of the old house or the lack of consistency in design and furnishings (i.e. plastic blinds, miniature ironing board, and cheap toilet paper). There were too many areas where it seemed the owner was just trying to get by with spending the least amount of money. And we didn't receive communication on entry, check-in, and the like until we called. The bed was comfortable but the LR would have been better with a larger TV. Having said all of this, we found the house comfortable enough. If there was a 3 1/2 Star rating then this place would rate that from us. However, for the money, we would stay in a hotel downtown the next time we visit (we stayed there the following 4 days and enjoyed the ambiance, comfort, and location. Bernie

This was a perfect place to launch our sons start of medical school at the University of Iowa. It was conveniently located close to the campus and is a charming lovely place to stay. You won't be sorry if you rent this

Cute little house within walking distance to downtown Iowa City. Enjoyed our stay, would love to return

This was just a fantastic place for my husband, daughter and I to stay. So nicely furnished, extremely clean, and such a nice place. This cottage has a charming front and side yard and a screened in porch. Really made our stay the best!

Cool place, great location!

What a great place to stay! My family and I enjoyed ourselves very much

Mattresses were very comfortable for a good nights sleep. Neighborhood was quiet and house was comfortable for a weekend getaway with girlfriends. Kitchen was less than well stocked lacking dish soap, measuring spoons and measuring cups, and some basics, so not great for cooking, but everything worked well. Owner was more than happy to help us with whatever we needed. Would definitely book again!

Well appointed comfortable home. Owner is attentive and home is well appoinyed. We'd stay here again.
