My partner and I stayed here as the first stop on our 2 week road trip. The check in process was super easy and quick. The house, loved it! From the small things like putting a pizza in the freezer for a quick and easy dinner to the amazing rain shower. We loved it!

Everything was very nice. Owner had small children running around in upstairs living unit which was a little noisy in evening hours. No other issues and overall a nice spot. Liked neighborhood area, in spring the firepit area looks like a nice addition.

Two night stay in Des Moines
Everything was perfect and easy. Great place to stay for appointments we had in Des Moines, to see family and friends and just to relax. The location is perfect, especially because it was across from the tennis courts and I played tennis for Roosevelt in the 80’s!
