Perfect

We travel to Des Moines fairly regularly and have always stayed in hotels - this trip was sooo much better for having stayed here!! Location and accommodations were perfect and the rooftop patio was icing on the cake. We walked to our favorite spots and had room for secure parking for both vehicles. We will book this property when we return!!

Perfect!

We had 5 adults in our party and stayed for the Savannah Banana game. The location was perfect, we were able to walk downtown and to Prinicipal Park! Everything was secure, ample street parking, bedrooms and baths clean and comfortable but the star of the show was the rooftop deck!!! Communication was excellent, would stay again

Little slice of heaven

This was our first stay in a condo and holly certainly set the bar high! It was one of the most beautifully decorated homes we have ever stayed in. We loved being so close to everything… the city view was gorgeous which made the rooftop terrace my favorite spot. It was clean the beds were comfy and it was a great price in my opinion Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Holly!

Gorgeous home in great location

It really is a gorgeous home. Staying at a hotel can't compare to the space and comfort of something like this. Having a garage was such a nice bonus too, and being within walking distance of downtown was the highlight. The balcony was a particular treat too, just to relax with some board games in the open air with a great view of downtown.

Kids Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena

Stayed here for 5 days while in town for a wrestling tournament at Wells Fargo Arena. Excellent location with an easy 8 minute walk to the event center and also to several good restaurants. Layout was good and the rooftop deck was great. Need to bring your own toiletries which we happened to do. The carpet was pretty stained and the couch was dirty with a large stain. Only one TV in the main room which was kind of a bummer, would have been nice to have one in the master.

Why they chose this property

The urban location is amazing! The Loft has such a great feel with it’s high ceilings, hardwood floors and open kitchen/dining. The Living room boasts a contemporary recessed electric fireplace all open to the lovely white kitchen with stainless appliances and marble countertops. There is a powder room on the main floor.

Second floor has a spacious master suite with a king bed. Relax on the loveseat looking out the large windows framing the view. The master bath is awesome with it’s huge tiled steam shower and double vanity! There are two additional bedrooms on this level with another full bath. My favorite part is the fully furnished rooftop patio viewing the Des Moines skyline. It has a wet bar with a wine refrigerator for convenience before entering the patio. This contemporary Loft constructed in 2018 is a true gem!
