This unit is in the heart of downtown and in a large complex with other tenants. There may be times when hear cars on the street, emergency vehicles, people outside or in the unit, events, construction and other typical urban sounds. While we don't believe it's abnormally noisey, we do mention this in all of our downtown listings in order to provide full transparency!

NOISE MONITORING: In consideration of our community of neighbors in this expansive complex, we've implemented a Minut Sound Monitoring device within the unit. Rest assured, this device does not record any audio; instead, it monitors decibel levels. As responsible hosts, our commitment to being good neighbors is reinforced by using this technology, which provides us and our guests with alerts in case sound levels exceed the appropriate threshold. It's our way of ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable environment for everyone. If sound warnings are ignored, fees and loss of reservation without a refund are possible.

SECURITY CAMERA: There is a ring doorbell located outside the front door facing down the public hallway that records audio and video 24/7 for guests safety. If the device is tampered with the reservation may be cancelled with no refund.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

Good sized apartment in downtown Des Moines
Nice, open concept living area was nice. Good sized bedrooms with high ceilings. Bathroom is a little small for sharing with four people, but that is to be expected in a downtown apartment. Good location with on street metered parking available right next to the building. Apartment was in general clean, but some areas could use a deep clean (older carpet and dusty baseboards). Overall, we enjoyed the space and our stay. Would recommend it to others.

Get Place!
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!

Nice condo
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.

Spacious and modern
Apartment is very nice on the inside. Large rooms with tall windows. Not all windows have shades on them so that was a little uncomfortable. Kitchen has limited cooking utensils and pots/pans which was a disadvantage for us as we were wanting to make meals. No toaster to be found also. Location wise: entrance is not well marked and difficult to find. Not much for street side parking to unload your things if traveling with many bags/small children. There was a good amount of homeless people hanging around building but the building has double doors with FOB access that have 3 check points for security so that made us feel very safe. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Would stay here again.

Perfect for farmers market
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
