Beautiful place in walking distance of restaurants and U of I. Perfect "home away from home"!
Joyce is an excellent host! Great communication before and during our stay. The location is great with waking distance to the downtown restaurants and shops, and close proximity to U of I.The apartment is exactly as advertised and was very clean. Joyce goes the extra mile to make your stay nice!
My second stay at this wonderful home. The location is perfect for Moscow. It's just a short walk to all your favorite places in Moscow. Yet, it's on a nice quiet side street. The host is wonderful. You feel very welcome, comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend this rental!!!
I enjoyed my time at Joyce's house. The apartment was great. Amazing location. Close to everything! Joyce is a great host. Great communication and super friendly. I would definitely stay here again!
My trip was wonderful. Host very accomodating, responsive. Place was spotless. Organic coffee was available and other condim ents. Kitchen stocked with silverware and pans to make basic meal. Definitely a great place!

Cute basement unit in a great location. 10/10 for walkability to restaurants, shops and farmers market. Hosts make you feel at home with coffee, cream, fruit and eggs.

The host was WONDERFUL! She had snacks, GREAT coffee, breakfast items, and water for us. The attention to detail and cleanliness is second to none. We will stay again when visiting our WSU student!
Thank you Joyce…Kelly too.
A great place to stay if you’re looking for something close to downtown Moscow and want a comfortable place to rest at night. The host provided lovely scones, eggs, and milk for our stay. A nice personal touch! We were able to walk into town and have dinner out every night. Lots of good places to eat nearby.
The First Street Flat is perfect for WSU or UofI parents visiting their children! We stayed here for the Spring WSU Family Weekend and couldn’t be happier! It’s clean, cozy, and within a few minutes walking to great shops & restaurants in downtown Moscow - and it doesn’t cost an arm & a leg like local hotels! Joyce & Kelly are fabulous hosts - we would love to stay here again!
I visited Moscow on a work trip, and this apartments suited my needs just fine for that. You are quite close to the host's living quarters, but they are very respectful of your stay - while still making sure that you have everything you need (Joyce made me fresh cookies). I'd recommend for one or 2 people who need a small, hotel-alternative space.
Great stay at the basement apartment. Close to all of the restaurants and shops. Joyce is a great host, but also respects your privacy. The basement apartment is very clean and has a comfortable bed and futon available for sleeping. We were given fresh yogurt and eggs for breakfast and freshly baked cookies for a treat! I would stay here again.
Perfect little oasis a block away from downtown shops and restaurants!
Joyce is the perfect hostess. The basement apartment is clean and tidy and perfectly appointed. Just what we needed for me and my 18 year old son going through orientation at WSU. Just 15 minutes from that campus and only a block to cute strip with restaurants. I highly recommend!!
The host Joyce was so hospitably and friendly.Easy check in instructions, clean and private space with all the amenities. Very close to UofI and walking distance to downtown. Farmers market on Saturday's. The host recommended several lical spots and went above and beyond to make our
a pleasant one. Baked Scones too! We'll definitely visit again. stayy
We loved our stay at the First Street Flat. Super convenient location to downtown Moscow. Only about a block away from a super cool cafe called Bucers and other restaurants too. An extra special touch - Joyce was delightful and made us fresh scones!! So sweet. Even in the middle of 103 degree weather the flat was cool and comfortable. When visiting our daughter at WSU - this will hopefully be the only place we stay! Thank you!!!
When we first arrived, we were immediately very impreased by the cleanliness and coziness of the property. The check in process was very straight forward and easy to follow (and so was the check out process). The owner was extremely nice and accomodating. They made sure that all of our needs were taken care of, even going as far as offering to shovel the snow from the walkway if so desired, and making us delicious scones presented in a cute little box. Communication was fantastic and I could not have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend staying here if youre looking for an affordable, comfortable, and accommodating stay. 5/5 stars!
Basement is as described. Bright paint to liven up a potentially dark place. Comfortable bed and living space. Wall heaters are the heat source. Walking distance to downtown and UofI. The host and her daughter were lovely and kind. Street parking.
Myself and my two teenage sons had a fabulous stay at the First Street Flat. Joyce and Kelly were great hosts with clear and quick communication. We appreciated the opportunity to have a late check out since other guests were not booked the day we were leaving. The flat is a block from charming Main Street and a quick drive to campus...could walk or ride bike easily. Flat had everything we needed and more...probably the best stocked VRBO I've stayed in. From fresh eggs, yogurts and delicious home baked scones, I felt like we were at a bed & breakfast, not a rental. This is an older home (inside has been nicely updated) so keep in mind you may hear squeaks from upstairs...not a bother to us, but something to be aware of. If we are back in Moscow, we will definitely look to stay here again.
Wonderful host. Joyce is the most kind and accommodating host I have ever had with any stay. Also many more amenities than I’m used to getting. A 5 minute walk to downtown. Absolutely lovely stay.
This was a perfect place for my daughter and I to stay while touring U of I. It was easy check in and so cute with many extra thoughtful details. We met the owner she was so kind and friendly. It was so great to walk a few blocks for meals. We would stay here again.
We couldn't be happier with our stay! The communication was clear, property clean and hosts were very kind and generous! We will definitely plan to stay at the same property if we visit Moscow again in the future. We especially appreciate the special touches provided to make us feel at home immediately, like the welcome message and candy, the cold beverages in the fridge and of the fresh muffins and OJ given to us on the morning we left. Really special place to stay.
