Everything was as advertised, and communication with the host was prompt, helpful, and welcoming. Couldn’t have asked for anything that wasn’t already accurately part of the description. Would definitely stay again.
Very spacious with an astonishing view of the Capitol building! (The sunrise/sunset is beyond beautiful) This was exactly what we needed for a weekend in the city, walkable to just about everything there is to see in downtown Des Moines!
Great location to downtown. Clean and quick response from owner. A bit loud at night, but should be expected with location. Overall good place to stay.
My girlfriends and I had a girls weekend and this stay was perfect! Close to downtown, close to parking garage, and clean/organized! Dan was great with communication! Highly recommend!
This was perfect for our weekend in DSM! Location is perfect for the farmer's market and all the cool spots downtown. Loved the big bedrooms and kitchen! Would definitely stay here again!
Great communication with the owner
Always quick response

This property was a great place for staying when in the city! Its beautifully decorated and has wonderful views of downtown. The Host was great with all communication and very easy to contact if anything is needed. We will definitely look to reserve this property again, when in the area
We were in town for a fun weekend together to relax and catch up with each other. The place was perfect for our short weekend together. I wish we could have stayed longer on Sunday..
Overall - 5. The things that were excellent far outweigh any of the hiccups.Above all communication with our host, Dan, was exceptional - Super helpful, offering detailed info for check-in & recommendations. The few times I needed to contact him - he was quick to respond & offer a solution.The bathroom & bedrooms - Both got an A for being clean, comfortable, & ready to use. The kitchen area - specifically the refrigerator & toaster needed a bit more cleaning attention, but utensils, sink, countertops, & microwave were all spotless. Safety - upon arrival I was apprehensive about a group of rowdy individuals who gathered near the entrance to the building. They were there each evening usually from approx 6pm - well into the night during our stay. Loud, lots of profanity & occasionally fighting, police there from time to time. I could tune them out but thought it was worth mentioning for those it might bother. Apartment itself felt secure/safe. Surrounding area felt safe & comfortable from 9am to 6pm when we were out walking & enjoying the parks & businesses within a couple miles of the building. Once we figured out the skywalk it was convenient to access the car in the parking garage on walnut st to avoid the streets after dark.Furniture & flooring show more wear then pictured, but still look nice.New construction in area.The VIEW - Exceptional! Exacting what we wanted - affordable place with a great city skyline view. And this place delivered - really pretty at night.
Clean and well put together. Property is very secure and quiet.

All the things in this unit is fantastic
Very neat and clean, fully equipped kitchen and bright bathroom to makeup.
The location is fabulous, just at the downtown Des Moines, few minutes away from Hy-Vee, which has various choices for fresh veges, fruits and meat and also bus stop is nearby, too, a very convenient site.
Of course my favorite place, Ballet Des Moines is just downstairs, only take 20 seconds from this unit to access.
I really enjoyed all the things, all the ways in the city and this units, great location, absolutely comfortable bedding, safe places with affordable prices and the lovely host Dan, who gave me so many good advices to visit and enjoy the city.
Highly recommend to stay here for your trip in Des Moines, I would love to come back and stay here in my future visit.
This condo was a breath of fresh air. Tall ceiling and lots of sunshine. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen clean. Felt like a home away from home. The view of the capital building was a fun little plus. The lock box to get into the building was a bit difficult, but once inside it was fairly easy. Close walk to restaurants, bars, and parking garages. Would stay again.
Check in was a bit challenging as we don’t get out much! The place is beautiful, clean and comfy. The neighborhood was a bit noisy and some loud drunken individuals kept my spouse awake . I slept through it. Great location so we could walk to Noche!
The condo was easy to check in and out of and was very nice and clean. Dishes were provided along with towels and a hair dryer in the bathroom. A laundry room was also in the condo available for use with detergent pods provided. Communication with the host was easy. Overall was a good place to stay.
Dan was great and quick at communicating with us. Dan gave us ideas for parking and places to see. Read the direction for check in and check out carefully which will result in easy entry when you arrive. Location is near restaurants and a short walk to the Cubs Stadium. The apartment with clean smelled fresh. We'd definitely stay here again!
Convenient and safe building and neighborhood. Roomy and comfortable for group. Climate of rooms were perfect. Roomy and spacious for group. Large windows and tall ceilings were charming. Would suggest additonal blankets. Suggest adding pizza pan for kitchen. Suggest service to clean wall vent-it was dirty.Overall stay was good. Host was excellent! Cordial, prompt and informative. Would stay again at this location.
We travel for the farmers market every Memorial weekend since 2019 and the hotels locally were just outrageous this year. Happen to check VRBO and this listing was available. 2 blocks walk to the market, few blocks to nice restaurants and parking. Secure entrance and convenient to the elevator. Space was perfect for us. Small but not too small but not big either. Four of us stayed and were very comfortable. Highly recommend this location
