Stylish 2BR Charmer Close to Everything

Stylish, comfortable and close to everything, the whole family is welcome to this 2 bed 1.5 bath restored 1936 home. Down the street from Uptown Normal, the space is perfect for a quick or long term stay with all the amenities you need. Full fenced in yard for your pets and kids playroom with pack n play. Must love older homes as she has quirks like squeaky floors and sticky doors.

Overall a great stay! The owner was very communicative and helpful and the property had what we needed. My only complaint is that it wasn’t cleaned as well as I would’ve liked (bottle caps under cushions and lingering pet hair) and there were some old home quirks like doors that stick or don’t close well and uneven floors. However it has been well cared for and updated nicely and the owner was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed!

Clean!

The home was very clean. We did not travel with a pet but this was obviously a pet friendly property. The floors are very creaky as it is an older home. The location was good for visiting local friends and restaurants.

Charming old house, in a nice quiet neighborhood.The property is pet friendly, with that being said there was a faint pet / sour towel smell in the living room.The beds were comfortable, and the shower was great!Overall, it was good for our stay, and we will book again for another visit.

Graduation weekend

My 93 year old father, my brother and adult children all gathered for my son's graduation from ISU. It is a charming older house with many squeaky floors. We enjoyed the screened in patio and breeze. The weather was beautiful, and the location was great. Short distance from everything. Highly recommend.
