About the host

Hosted by van Hofwegen Properties

Host profile image
Hi! We're Michael and Jocelyn and though we are not midwest natives, we've lived in the Des Moines area for a long time and know it well. We are both former Realtors in Des Moines and know all the great neighborhoods, restaurants, events, nightlife, family-friendly places and more. We love Des Moines and it's Midwest Living at its best! Many of our children and grandchildren live in the area as well for the same reason. As your hosts, we aim to make your stay as comfortable and hassle-free as possible.

Why they chose this property

Sometimes, it's the little things that can make or break a stay, so we provide coffee, tea, bottled water, luggage racks, fast internet and Wifi, Smart TVs, shampoo/conditioner, soaps, makeup removers, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, blackout curtains and many more amenities depending on the place. We also try to scout out the very best locations - places close to the action, but just far enough off the path to be quiet. We also like to find places that are walkable/bikeable so that you have those options as well. All of our units are professionally cleaned after each guest by a local cleaning company, and we have a maintenance crew on call should any small problems arise. We are always available if you have any questions before, during or after your stay. We'd love to give you some recommendations on places to go or things to do during your stay. We want you to enjoy Des Moines as much as we do!
