Perfect apartment

This is my second time staying here. I was able to take advantage of the location and walk to Oneota co-op and Mabe's, and would have been able to walk just about anywhere. Lots of time spent outdoors, and the sofa and beds are perfect to relax and recharge when I got back in the evenings. The reserved parking spot in the back is really nice too. Already looking at my work calendar to find time to make a return trip. Thanks!

Make up weekend

We came to town to watch Luther softball. We had a great two nights and have enjoyed the Nest on previous trips as well. We enjoy having the ability to use a kitchen, the sitting area is large enough to watch a movie with friends and the rental is always clean. We had to cancel this room this fall for Homecoming and the owner was able to move the reservation to this weekend. We found that very accommodating for us and really appreciated it.

Amazing stay at an amazing location

When your partner walks in and says “if I bought a condo I would want it to look like this” you know you picked a great place to stay. Best location and tons of space. Absolutely would stay here again.
