Guest access
The house sits on a dead-end and has a wooded backyard. Even though the house is in the middle of the city, deer and birds are frequent backyard visitors.
If you enjoy walking, the neighborhood has interesting 100 year old homes, a couple coffee shops and a few restaurants. Hyvee grocery store and Campbell’s (health food store) are five blocks from the Airbnb, so groceries are walkable but a car or bicycle is probably more practical. There is a bus stop one block from the Airbnb.
There is an on-sight driveway for parking and also free street parking.
Other things to note
This is a family friendly house. Our intention is that this is a home to relax and rest. This is not a party house. Do not book if you have any proclivity toward illegal activities. Do not book if you are a smoker.
