Summary: Such a great place to stay in Iowa City! Plenty of space for the family, multiple rooms for relaxing, playing games, or just visiting. Had a great back patio for enjoying the afternoon sun. The bedrooms are so spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was very well-appointed. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. Walk down to DeLuxe for a baked treat! The owners were easy to communicate with, friendly, and quick to respond. We will definitely stay here again!
