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.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover

From the outside the home looks a bit run down, however, the inside is clean, well appointed, and updated with decor that has modern simple lines. 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.
