Cozy Artist Cottage, convenient to down town & UIowa This 1920's bungalow is full of natural light, hand-crafted woodwork, original art, and comfy nooks to relax, commune with friends or family, or focus on work as necessary. In the warm months it is surrounded by garden greenery, flower beds and a large partially-enclosed front porch, with porch swing, overflowing with potted plants. The plants migrate inside during winter for year-round verdant companionship. In winter there is a fireplace to warm your toes and an updated kitchen to warm your belly. You'll be a short walk to Iowa City's most charming coffee shop and bakery. Less than 1.5 miles to the downtown pedestrian mall, there is plenty of wonderful dining, live music, an amazing independent film theater, and art museum. The house is also very convenient to University of Iowa campus, hospitals and sporting events. There is also a bus stop only one block away that will get you almost anywhere you want to go. Iowa City boasts miles of bike paths, numerous close hiking trails, lakes and rivers. If you want to stretch your legs closer to home, the surrounding neighborhoods are lovely to walk or run. You will have the house to yourself when here, but this is my own residence and you will see the evidence of a lived-in, well-loved home. I take care to remove my personal items from commons spaces, and my bedroom and office will be locked. Please make yourself completely at home. You are welcome to read the books, use the dishes and do your laundry. There are textiles and artifacts from my travels, and art I've collected, mostly from friends...and lots of plants. On the main floor there is a bedroom with a full size bed (new Nectar brand mattress), bathroom, living room, walk-through dining room and updated kitchen. In the basement is a laundry area and enclosed den with windows, a loveseat and TV area, and space heater. I usually use this space for yoga, movies and crafting. It also accommodates a queen size inflatable bed, which I can set up for you upon request. The bed is remarkably comfortable - possibly more so than my own bed. It is, however, a bit cool in the winter months. I pile it with lots of blankets and padding, and the space heater warms the area well. There is keyless entry with your own code provided before check-in, and off-street free parking. There will be coffee (french press), tea and light breakfast provisions in the fridge. Free wi-fi, of course. There is a not-so-smart TV in the basement suite with HDMI attachment for your laptop. I'll be attentive to any questions that you may have and have someone near by to assist with any on-site needs may arise.
