Excellent and caring communication throughout the visit! So close to options downtown and everything we needed better than a hotel. Had a wonderful weekend in my old home town visiting friends and looking forward to the next time!

Nice place to stay when working/events downtown Des Moines. Beats a hotel, but reminds me of my college apartment. Will stay again!

Had a nice time staying in this unit. I would recommend it to anyone staying in downtown Des Moines. It is a beautiful city with lots to see and do. My friend and I biked about 40 miles. It is an amazingly bike-friendly city.

The caretaker didn’t take care and it’s only a tv in living room and it’s small. Beds are very small and cheap. Not luxury as advertised.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
THIS IS A DORM ROOM! This property was very disappointing. It was a student housing and not a vacation rental. The hallways and apartment had a strong musty smell, and I had to run the humidifier constantly—dumping it every 3 hours.The unit was not well stocked (only two forks), and the coffee pot didn’t even fit the machine properly to make coffee. Rugs were worn and dirty, the sheets had a musty odor, and there were no extra blankets provided. Beds were cheap, 4 inch mattress on a metal frame.Maintenance issues included a slow-draining bathroom sink. On top of that, the host gave very short notice before ENTERING our space, which felt intrusive. Communication was also excessive—they continued to text me repeatedly after I had already checked in, even late in the evening, 9 pm, requesting additional information, a photo of me holding my Drivers License! I had already checked in!Overall, the space was uncomfortable, poorly maintained, and not what I expected. I would not stay here again.
