Cute spot in Ames

The duplex is nice and located in a quiet part of Ames. The home is a bit older, but has some nice updates. If you like a firm mattress, you’ll love the bed! We appreciated being able to bring our dog with us as well.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

I was in Ames for a songwriting workshop with a colleague. This 1 BR efficiency Vrbo was perfect for us. Although there were two of us, the property has a lengthy comfortable couch and and air mattress for an extra person. Full kitchen with plates and cookware. Bathroom was clean and stocked with supplies. Not a huge space, but totally fine for a place to sleep comfortably and cook your own food. Easy access to the community, campus, and downtown. Keyless entry/exit and great communication with host, who was easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Clean and Convenient

For one or two people, a small, clean and convenient base of operation. Just minutes away from Iowa State and downtown. A good value for the money.
