Nice inside, convenient location

Nice house and fit our needs well. Older home that has been renovated on the inside. Outside is still dated (hence the "Ugly Duckling"). Owner was responsive to messages. Only downside was that the street in front of the house was closed due to construction, so we did not have access to the driveway for parking.

Weekend in Fargo

House was nice and close to things we wanted to go to. Well stocked kitchen and baths- clean and cozy place with nice tv. Front door little hard to lock/unlock, bath in lower level shower needs some attention as not hot and bathroom door needs fixing so will shut. It would be nice to add some Fargo tourist information and instructions for TV

Great Place

It was a very quick stay. We arrived late and checked out very early. We didn't utilized the kitchen area at all, but from what I can tell it is very well stocked. Everything was neat, clean and tidy. The beds were comfy and there was a lot of extra bedding, if we were cold at night. Eli was very forth coming with information about road construction and alternate parking. He was very helpful in sorting our confusion as to where to park. He answered our questions very quickly. Overall it was a nice stay, just wished our time there was a little longer. We were there less than 12 hours.

Cute Little House

The house was as advertised. We stayed for 3 nights. The beds were comfortable. There were a few window AC units. The downstairs bedroom does not have AC, and got very hot at night when we needed to close the door. The coffee bar has a keurig coffee maker, and the kitchen was mostly stocked. There were a few missing items/amenities that I wish I had asked about beforehand, such as a kettle for tea, mixing bowl(s) for salad/batter/popcorn, a whisk. All other kitchen utensils we needed were there. When we arrived we couldn't find enough towels for all the guests, but the host was quick to respond, and tell us where to find extra. Over all was a nice place to stay for the weekend.
