It was amazing. Our host was always ready to answer questions. The house was just what the eight of us. It was as if we were at one of our homes. There were plenty of kitchen utensils which every cook who came used. Thanks Jeff for the hospitality.

We were in town for the Iowa State game. About 30 mins from campus in a a nice quiet neighborhood. Jeff was a great host. He checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was ok and even offered early check in. The house was exactly as pictured and had plenty of room for our group of 6. Would definitely book again. Thanks again Jeff!
