About the host
Hosted by Emily forte
Hi, I’m Emily — a Des Moines native, mom of two, and the founder of StayDSM. I love creating comfortable, stylish spaces that make travel feel effortless. Hosting lets me share my love for this city and its hidden gems with guests (and their pups!) from all over. Whether you’re here for work or play, I’m committed to making your stay seamless, welcoming, and just a little extra special.
Why they chose this property
Downtown Des Moines has the best of both worlds — vibrant city life and a welcoming community feel. I love that you can walk (or use the skywalk!) to coffee shops, restaurants, and entertainment, then come home to a peaceful, secure building with rooftop views. The neighborhood’s mix of modern amenities, green spaces, and pet-friendly patios makes it the ideal spot for guests and their pups to experience the best of Des Moines living.
What makes this property unique
This isn’t your average downtown studio — it’s a thoughtfully designed space where comfort meets convenience. Guests love the floor-to-ceiling windows, cozy modern style, and little details that make it feel like home. The building’s amenities set it apart: rooftop bocce ball courts, a fenced dog run, fitness center, community game room, and direct skywalk access to Des Moines’ best restaurants, offices, and event venues. Whether you’re here for work or play, this studio blends luxury, location, and local flair — all with your pup by your side.
