Yay! I found a place to stay for my upcoming trip to Iowa City. It's a Victorian guest house facing a small park, six blocks from the psych department. I'll have a room with a double bed, a work area with a desk, a loveseat, cable TV, and a private bath, and there will be access to a shared kitchen furnished with pans and dishes. There's a continental breakfast provided. I'll have my own key - no curfew hours like in a hostel. The owner screens residents for studiousness to ensure that it will be a quiet work environment. I'll have privacy, but it won't be as lonely and isolated as staying in a motel. And it's only $30/night, plus I'll save money by being able to store food and cook.

I'm still dreading this trip, but at least I have a nice place to stay.
