The house was very clean and comfortable. Do not recommend if you expect visitors due to lack of parking but hosts are great. They ran over during a bad storm to make sure we had access to the basement. Would rebook in the future.

We loved our stay! The Norwood was very clean and comfortable for us and our pets. We met our host and she was so welcoming . We liked that it was in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of room for our pets to enjoy the space outdoors on a leash.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. It was just 10 minute drive from Adventureland and shopping. The home is clean and comfortable. Our two children had beds of their own in one room. Wife and I had our own in the other. We stayed 3 nights. When we visit Des Moines again we will definitely stay here.

Very clean and tidy on check in. If I had one suggestion, the shower pressure is a bit low and just not a great shower head....but I'm an OCD shower person. Loved the place, location, and accommodating host!!!

Jane had everything you could need and had everything clearly labeled. I can't sleep without a box fan for noise and wouldn't you know it, she had 2! The house was clean and had no weird odors being pet friendly. Check in/out was a breeze. Thank you so much for hosting us Jane!
