Liked: Communication
If you are looking for a restful stay, this isn’t the place. I’m not sure if it’s thin walls or sound traveling through the vents but we could hear conversations in the adjacent condo who happened to have young kids. I was looking forward to sleeping in but couldn’t sleep through the noise. The sheets in the lower level bedroom smelled like they’d been left sitting in the washer too long and my daughter had to cover the pillow case with a blanket to not smell the musty pillow case so she could fall asleep. If you have heavy suitcases, there are some stairs you’ll need to pull them up, though not a lot. For the price, I wish I’d booked a couple hotel rooms instead.

This loft was convenient and a great place to stay during a long swim meet weekend. The directions were spot on, the place was incredibly clean and well outfitted, and the host was immediately responsive to any questions we had before, during and after the stay.

Downtown Concert ready

The loft worked perfectly for our one night trip and our party of four. We didn’t spend much time in the loft other than to sleep and shower. Great location for Wells Fargo Arena because it’s in walking distance with many restaurants in between.

A great first impression of Iowa!

A friend and I visited Des Moines for the weekend and Dan made the process as easy and smooth as possible! Responses were very quick if we had any questions, and he even checked in to make sure everything was going well the day after we got settled! Didn’t have any worries about the place, which allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest! Would definitely recommend and come back!!

Such a convenient home base for our Des Moines stay! We were in town for my husband's high school reunion (go TRHS Roughriders!), I-Cubs game with family, and the Iowa State Fair. The Loft was perfect size for two couples. Large primary bedroom and bath upstairs and comfy second bedroom and full bath on the main level. We were very happy to have laundry available in the unit to run a quick load after a few HOT days. We also greatly appreciated the great A/C - not always easy to control in a loft with big windows but we were nice and cool day and night.

Nice place. Great location and communication

The property was as advertised and in great shape. Perfect place for downtown Des Moines and good communication from host on checking in and out. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that outside of the loft and the first floor bedroom it could have used some auxiliary heating due to the cold. Since it was january a lot of cold air gets in through the window which isn't the fault of the host but just be prepared. We would use it again despite this.

Location is nice. People are friendly. Easy check in. Unfortunately the place could be cleaner. We found a few food bits in the corners of rooms. Couple of stinky towels left in the washer that never got washed. Even if you want to clean yourself the only thing provided is dish soap and a sponge. For a cleaning fee, it was a bit disappointing, but overall the stay was nice. Nobody bothered us. Host checked in quite frequently via message. Appreciated that he did his best in making us comfortable.

Beautiful Comfortable Space

Great space and location. Dan is an excellent host and ready to help with any need you have. It is quite a walk around the floor and up a bunch of steps to get to the unit. If you’re bringing groceries or a lot of bags be prepared. Parking is convenient to the space, across the street and with sky walk access on one side. If you’re a wine drinker be sure to bring your own glasses, there are only shot glasses, martini glasses, tall water glasses and coffee mugs. Also no options for recycling.
