So much better than staying at a hotel. We had plenty of room. Easy to check-in and out of here. Appreciated the quiet area. We were there to sleep and were out all day and most of the night for our daughter's graduation. Our host is so nice and checked in with us to make sure all was going well.
Everything was convenient and as described. The place is close to the things you'd want to do in Grand Forks. Would recommend.

Visitor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The unit was not overly clean (lots of dust bunnies and such on railings, under the couch, etc.) and the only cooking tool we had was a spatula.
There is also a crack in the front door and bees kept flying in until we blocked it with a small towel.
We could not use the TV for most of the stay because the internet connection was very poor and prevented us from connecting.
In general, the internet connection was very poor which was frustrating given that we were there for several days during the work week and needed to gain access to be able to work and attend to some virtual schooling needs.
