The ring doorbell was not stellar as it is invasive and kept falling out but otherwise the place was nice. The host was accommodating.

Clean, beds comfortable, communication with Host was great, check in was a breeze, location was great for our downtown weekend. Only negative I think would be minimal supplies. Could use more towels, kitchen supplies.

Great location - within a mile of downtown Des Moines. Awesome balcony view of the city. Serenely quiet. Easy access to downtown, botanical gardens, restaurants, parks, & art venues, etc. Hosts are top-notch; very responsive & helpful. Only minimally adverse comment I offer is the unit is lacking some items I have historically found in other VRBOs, e.g., toaster, cork screw, measuring spoons & cups, dish towels, wash cloths, etc. and the unit is very sparsely furnished (no wall hangings, area rugs. But I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others to do so.

We had a great stay here! The host was very accommodating and nice to us during the whole process. I think the only room for improvement would be to have more supplies in store. We had a group of 8 as this says we can hold 8, but we were a little short on towels, hand soap, and blankets. Other than that we had an easy going stay and we would recommend to anyone else!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication
Not very clean. Drawers were messy, floors were sticky. Did not have pillow cases on all pillows. Master bedroom had two dirty towels. The elevator stopped working and we were forced to carry luggage up to the 4th floor and there was rarely any parking available and always had to find street parking or paid parking elsewhere.The worst of the stay was the last night when the host called and texted at 3am, multiple times, while myself, my children, husband and brothers family were all sleeping, and was told I need to evacuate the property immediately because of “unauthorized guests”. I was told that police would be called if we didn’t pack up and leave within 15 minutes of the first text being sent. I was EXTREMELY confused and upset as we certainly did NOT have unauthorized guests on the property. Only to be sent footage of multiple people entering a completely different apartment. I told them it was not our apartment and it was confirmed there was a mix up, but we were already rattled and upset and awake at 3am the day before a long day of travel. We were told we would receive some sort of accommodation, but still have not received word of any sort of resolution. Not impressed at all.

Overall it was a good stay. Appreciated the cheapness of the stay. Could use a few more cooking supplies and towels and blankets but overall it was good.

Filthiest place, not cleaned, no clean sheets, 4 towels in one bathroom no towels in the other. Dirty towels stuck to the floor behind the bathroom door. Floors were filthy not vacuumed at all in who knows how long. Sticky floors in the kitchen,food stuck to the stove, so awful! Food and dog poop under the beds.And to top it all off.. No batteries in the TV remote. I called and the owners told me they would send cleaning crew they vacuumed 1 room and removed the debris and poop from under bed in one room, did not leave clean sheets or towels. Did not clean the bathrooms. It was the worst VRBO I have had the displeasure of staying in. I had to go buy sheets and towels, this was not a vacation I was working 10 hrs days and I needed a clean safe place to stay. This made my long days awful, no communication with the corporation that owned this condo that did anything at all to remedy the situation.
