The beds were comfortable and very clean. The kitchen was stocked enough for our purposes and they supplied some coffee and spices. The neighborhood was nice and very close to downtown. We appreciate they allow cats! Thank you for that

In town for a football game.
Lovely home in a perfect location. Close to food, stores and ND campus. The host was responsive and over communicated about the property and surrounding area.
