10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great. The weather could have been a bit better but we still were able to what we had planned. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. When we head back to the area, this will be what we check on first. Additional surfaces in the main level bathroom would have been nice but the rolling bedside table worked for that use. Hy-Vee was close for supplies and we took advantage of two meals during our stay."
