Peaceful Bungalow

This was our second stay at this lovely bungalow and, as before, it was a peaceful space with everything that we needed to invite our UI freshman over for quality family time and home cooked meals. We look forward to our next stay.

The bungalow to end all bungalows

Absolutely the best short term rental we've ever had! Superbly situated to U of Iowa and Iowa city downtown – steps to Hancher auditorium. Tons of light, quiet, beautiful, historic neighborhood. So much attention to detail – all manner of cookware, bathroom supplies, even flashlights etc. I cook tons with a crock pot - and this place has one! The owner was very accessible and lovely to interact with. Just a delight - hope to return in the coming months!

The Peace of the Bungalow

Our family was in town for move-in day at The University of Iowa. We really needed a place to stay that was convenient to downtown and preferred a peaceful place that would serve as a sanctuary from the chaos of move-in day. The Bungalow was the perfect place for our family. It allowed us to share in a family favorite meal before we flew home. The house felt like home and reflected the friendly and kind disposition of the home's owner. We have a second trip booked already and look forward to making it our home away from home over the next 4 years.
