The quiet neighborhood offers a perfect place to take long walks or you can head down to the Irish District on the corner of E Ave & 16th St. It features 3 bars and two have food. The Tic Toc Restaurant just re-opened (Corner of E Ave and 17th St. NE) Great tenderloins, cheese sticks & onion rings. Or if you want something a little more upscale and fun the New Bo District is just a short 8 -10 minute drive downtown. You'll find, kitschy shops like Raygun , Almost Famous Ice Cream Shop and lots of other places to explore...

House was cute and clean. Only issue we encountered was with our service dogs. We sent a message that we were traveling with my daughter’s service dogs as the listing said to do. The Host didn’t see it so then it was a mess trying to get the fees paid that she required
This was our second stay at this home. The colors and the vibe of the decor are really nice. We are very comfortable at this rental. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, pleasant outdoor patio and backyard. The dog enjoyed his walks to the park nearby. Lovely neighborhood. We’ll return again next year.

Nice spot nestled in close to colleges. Good beds clean space overall good experience. Maybe same spot next time I go back to visit child at college
Beautiful, clean, and comfortable home conveniently located near everything you could need. Excellent communication throughout the process. Highly recommend.
We loved this place! Awesome theme and decor. Perfect for our stay. Excellent heating and very comfortable beds. The dogs loved the fenced yard. Friendly neighbors, too. Would love to revisit for a longer stay. Thanks Kathleen!
Great place and great host! My husband and I had a longterm stay here (three months) while house hunting. The house is super cute, clean, and stocked with everything you need and then some. Kathleen, the host, was very responsive and friendly. The neighbors and neighborhood are great too. I enjoyed many long walks in the area and there’s quick access to the CeMar Trail. We pretty much became regulars at the nearby Moco Hotdog Bar and Old Neighborhood Pub, which are great local joints for getting an insiders feel of Cedar Rapids. We also really enjoyed the central location of this home, which allows us to conveniently venture around, from downtown to Marion and beyond.
This place is on my top 10 as it has everything you need with a cool vibe. Comfy, clean and loaded with extras! Great neighbors, conveniently located and professionally hosted. I came back home and immediately shopped for similar decor!
My spouse and I traveled to Cedar Rapids to spend some time with our granddaughter who attends Coe College. We stayed for 3 nights. The fenced in back yard was great for my 2 dogs. Kathleen was very responsive to all questions that I had. We are planning to fo back next year when our granddaughter attends Coe College again.
The house and our stay were both excellent. Kathleen was very attentive to our needs. We will certainly be staying here again during our next visit to see family.
