Very disappointed. Mildew and aged-water damage. I couldn't breathe well at all. Couldn't sleep. Checked out early. I had to find other accommodations.I did not receive a refund. I advise folks not to stay here, especially if you have any allergy problems at all with mildew.

A trendy little industrial style 1 bedroom in the heart of Valley Junction. Just as advertised. The neighborhood is for visiting, so the lack of amenities is a non/issue. A a few board games, and enough kitchenware to cook breakfast; is plenty for what you’d want to be there for in the first place. My 9 year old loved visiting the cats at Cats and Coffee down the street. The boutiques look lovely, and the State Fair was a short drive away (imo). A large spacious bathroom that seems to be necessitated by the building layout; was stocked with everything you’d want for a short weekend stay. I wish we’d been able to do the Valley Junction Farmer’s Market but we were not there for it. I’d imagine it’s an ideal rental for that event with a friend, or partner. The couch is adequately comfortable and sized for a child or small teen to sleep on. This is not a medium or small family spot unless you bring a blow-up mattress (maybe even he property could keep one in the hall closet). There is plenty of room in the great room for a slumber party in that context. I recommend this place fully if you’re a couple, and for small families with a minor caveat that it essentially only sleeps 3 comfortably.

Sweet place to wake up and go walk around

This was a great place. It checked all of the boxes and then some. It’s very clean! And the host has excellent communication. I would stay here again. Parking is great during the day. You have to move it though for the overnight hours. It’s available behind the buildings. So, there’s a little bit of a walk. Worth it though!

Great place to stay near Des Moines!

This place is so cute and comfy! I stayed for one night as I was visiting my son who goes to Drake University and it was only a 10 minute drive away. The loft is in an historic neighborhood with little antique shops and a really great restaurant across the street for breakfast- Mitzi’s. I will definitely stay hear again next time I come to Des Moines!
