If you are looking to do anything in relation to the college this is your house. Walking distance to the FB field as well as the grocery store and a sports bar. Cute house for travelers who don't mind a bit of close quarters.

Our host was super accommodating, responsive and helpful. The house is cozy, comfortable and a fantastic location (university, store, downtown). We stayed for a few weeks and it really became a home away from home. The shower is awesome! A little train noise in the late evening but with earplugs was not a problem at ok and I am normally very sensitive to sound/light sleeper. Shaun kept the snow scooped for safety. Would definitely stay again.

Quaint cottage close to the river and a one or two minute walk to a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants and downtown shops.The host is responsive, helpful and reassuringly prepared to assist with enquiries.It has the feel of sitting a friend's house while they are away with many homely touches. Highly recommended.
