Fabulous Downtown Location

Our family of four (mom, daughter, grandma, grandpa) had a wonderful 4-night stay at the Cartier apartment. The location was just right us: close to the river, the capitol building, and downtown. Having a parking space included was fantastic. Check-in was easy and communication with hosts was excellent. We appreciated having the balcony for having our morning coffee and watching fireworks on the 4th and the sunsets each evening. We recommend!v

The unit is very clean. The beds were comfortable and they had several pillow options. The kitchen and bathrooms had all essentials. The property is walkable to several bars, restaurants, Wells Fargo Arena and the State Capitol. The hosts checked on us after arriving and were very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Great view and convenient location

We were interested in the property being close to the cornhole tournament - it was at the Fair Grounds. VERY convenient to THAT AND the casino. Loved being downtown. Tiana was there for all our needs. Would definately stay again.

Visiting Iowa

We added Iowa as our 49th state visited, with friends from Iowa as our guides. Our Des Moines location was perfect. Close to downtown and the beautiful capitol building. We spent the evening on the patio, enjoying wine, pizza, conversation, and our city view.
