Great Stay!

Large home with lots of charm…Big fan of the helpfulness of the property manager…the location worked well for getting to the downtown event we came to Omaha to attend…this home was one of the nicer properties on the block but I felt safe & the property was well-lit…the off street parking was great for our two cars & we had plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms for accommodating 5 adults & one teenager…we would definitely stay here again if we visit Omaha with all of family again!

Great Location!

Perfectly located between between the happening areas between Council Bluffs and Omaha. Right up the street from the Zoo and minutes from the Mid-American Center. House was the prefect size for our group. Wonderful to have the 3 full bathrooms.

Property was good. It could use kitchen hand towels, dish rags, bigger frypan and a griddle. The grill was pretty shaky but it did work. Air fresheners would be a plus. Neighbors did partially block the drive way on a couple of occasions and they usually had street parking used up. Everything else worked as it should.

Convenient and roomy

The property was perfectly located for our needs. There were only 3 of us staying here, but we had other family members come visit each day. There was plenty of room for all of us to visit and eat. Jeremy is a very responsive host, and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again.

Zoo crew 2023

We had a great time staying at this house. Everything was accurate or better on the listing and the owner was great to work with. It is very centrally located to all the things we wanted to do, Old Market to eat, play and shop, and of course the zoo! Our grandkids had a great time and I could see us staying there again.

Beautiful home

The home was beautifully remodeled and was only a few minutes to the CWS ballpark. Our group of 9 fit comfortably in the home. Neighborhood isn’t the greatest and I definitely wouldn’t be out after dark there but otherwise our stay was really great.

Great location

We had a family gathering for a wedding. There were 10 of us and this home worked very well using an airbed in the basement (not provided). There was an issue with some water due some leakage but the host was attentive and checked on it. Not much he could do about it at that time. It is at a great location, very convenient to every place we went to.

Omaha Bungalow

We spent two nights at this updated, well stocked house. Location was very close to the Omaha attractions we visited. Owner was very responsive and house was very clean. The only downfall was that the two upstairs bedrooms were very hot. Even after using all of the pedastal fans and window AC at the top of the stairs, rooms were 83 degrees at night. Made for a rough few nights of sleep for people that are used to cooler rooms.

Great stay

Perfect location to go the zoo which was our main reason for the stay. 5 minute or less drive. When we pulled up to the house we were a little surprised at how many cars are street parked but we never felt unsafe or like there were a lot of people wandering the street. I never even really heard any outside noise which was a nice surprise. The house is very nice inside and out. The steps going upstairs are a little steep but no problem if you take your time and use the nice sturdy hand rail. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. Fridge has ice machine which was certainly needed. It was record heat so it did get quite warm upstairs but the home has AC and there’s a window unit upstairs in the hallway. It just wasn’t possible for it to keep up. But there are fans (plug in, not ceiling) in each room so with those it wasn’t awful for sleeping. The deck looked nice we just weren’t able to use it due to the heat. We used the grill which was great. Living room was perfect to relax with the smart tv. Dining room was great for us to all sit down together for food and games. Nice binder with listings of things to do in the area and straight forward check out to-do list.

Great place

It was a great house with no frills, but plenty of space for our family of 6. We really liked that it was so close to what we were in Omaha to do also. The neighborhood had a lot of houses packed in with lots of traffic day and night. Coming from a small town, that was a difference for us. But no one bothered us or said anything to us and it was fine. All in all, it was a great place to stay for a short vacation.

First family trip

We loved the location of Bancroft Bell in regards to distance from the Zoo and Old Town. The house was very nicely remodeled and worked great for our family of 7… 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on main level, 2 bedrooms and larger bath upstairs, and another bath with shower in finished basement. Communication with the property manager was exceptional. We had a minor issue at 10pm one evening and he responded immediately. The only downfall is the neighborhood. It is a little rundown and at first appears unsafe but we had no problems at all.

Virginia meets Nebraska

I booked this house because it had a main floor bedroom and bathroom as well as ramp access for my mother who struggles with stairs. Unfortunately my parents were unable to join us due to a medical emergency. My husband, my sister in law and I loved this beautiful home! Clean and comfortable! Close to everything! Ample parking! Great water pressure too! There was so much room for at least 6 more people to easily spread out and relax. Excellent step by step check in and check out instructions. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
