Diamond in the Rough

Nestled close to downtown, our newly built vacation rental, named "Diamond in the Rough," provides a homely alternative to the usual hotel stay. Our cozy abode features two bedrooms and a bathroom, all tastefully decorated to make you feel right at home. Despite being in a neighborhood that's a little “rough around the edges”, rest assured that your safety and privacy are our top priorities. The house shares a driveway with the neighbors, but it remains a private and safe space.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned vacation home. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a washing machine and an iron/ironing board.

Tara B., Bettendorf USA

Liked: Cleanliness
Communication with the host was very good. The shower was amazing and the beds were comfortable. The location was not convenient, especially for game weekends.

6/10 Okay

Jeremy Y.

Was pet friendly / Host was great and responsive. There was no itinerary to where trash goes or WiFi password and could’ve been more towels / wash clothes. Cleanliness was ok.
