About this property

Modern Comfort. Sleeps 10. Perfect location, close to I-80 and sparkling clean!

Why should you choose my property for your temporary stay? How about…

New and ultra-modern, almost 1900 square feet with 4 large bedrooms and 2 full baths, enormous living area and a full dining room. Super comfy beds with memory foam toppers. Including twin trundle bed and sleeper couch the house sleeps 10 comfortably. Lightening fast internet and 3 Smart TVs with all the streaming services.

Location, location, location! Only 6 minutes from Interstate 80 for a larger group of weary travelers looking for a good nights rest. Just 3-4 minutes from major shopping centers, Adventureland, Prairie Meadows Casino, 8 minutes from State Fair, 13 minutes from downtown Des Moines. Home us right on the line that separates Des Moines/Altoona.

Fully equipped kitchen with everything you will need for cooking, including drip coffee maker and smoothie machine. If we don´t have it, we´ll get it! Family friendly and equipped with high chair and playpen for the little ones.

Outside deck with gas grill. Washer and dryer for your convenience. Parking for three vehicles. Peaceful neighborhood of almost brand new houses.

As you can see, this property is priced well below most others in its category.

We are clean freaks. All bathrooms and kitchen are sanitized. Air purifier for the hypoallergenic. If you find one hair or dirty spot, we want to know about it. And finally...

You will receive prompt, personal and caring attention from my wife and I. We are always looking for ways to improve and are ready to serve you!

*Just for clarification, this is NOT a shared property. There is another entirely private and separate unit with its own entrance in the back, lower level. (Not a basement, more like a du-plex) This is where my awesome property manager and his wife stay and they are ready to help you with any situation that may arise, and they are ok if you want to make some noise. But please rest assured, each unit is 100% private with its own entrance, secure locks, parking places, etc.

Accommodations were great and the location was convenient for what we had planned. Only drawback was we didn't realize people lived in the lower level. We could hear them from the master bedroom.

This was a great place to stay for a family of 6. The house was spacious and very clean. There are tenants living in the basement I think, which was a surprise. Everything turned out well, and we were grateful for a nice place to stay.

Very clean and spacious. Lots of room for numerous guests. Neighborhood was safe and we felt comfortable walking around at night. Do note that there is a tenant that lives below but we never heard them or saw them. I can't remember if it stated that on the original listing but it was not a problem at all! Definitely recommend staying here!

We booked this home believing we had the entire property to ourselves. At no point in the listing did the host disclose that people live full time in the basement or that the driveway is shared. We only learned this after booking, and once we arrived it was immediately clear this was a shared living situation.Within 30 minutes of being inside the home, we could hear the people below us, especially in the ensuite bathroom. Knowing sound carries throughout the house made us uncomfortable, as we were traveling as a family and expected privacy. We never would have booked this property had this been disclosed upfront.After the host denied our cancellation request, we found the same listing on other sites with multiple reviews from other guests expressing the same concern about the lack of disclosure. The host responded defensively to those reviews, insisting it is not a shared property despite people living full time in the basement. The host did not apologize to us and instead stated that other guests have been fine with it.The home also does not appear equipped to support multiple households. After one shower, there was no hot water left for our children’s bath. Towels provided were child sized and dark colored, making cleanliness hard to assess, and there was no regular hand soap at the kitchen sink.While the main living space could accommodate our Christmas gathering, the lack of transparency made this stay stressful. Future guests deserve clear and honest information.
