Great location near Lua Brewing and other breweries and restaurants that we visited during our one night stay in Des Moines. It was the perfect house to end our National Parks road trip to the west. The house was very nice and met the needs or our party (4 adults, 3 children). I highly recommend and would stay here again. ##### Nathan H.

The owners were very responsive to any questions that we had. The "extras" (hot tub, firepit, Wii, jungle gym) were a nice touch and fun for activities for our little one. We also enjoyed walking to dinner each night, as there are many restaurants within a one block walking distance. ##### Kirsten C.

It was in close proximity to downtown Des Moines with easy access and ample parking. The backyard patio was a nice place to return to after long days at the State Fair. I would certainly recommend this as a family friendly property. Instructions for check in and check out were clear and easy, and owners were accommodating. Overall a very good experience. ##### Angela S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica A. Mar 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spring break We wanted to stay somewhat close to home for spring break, within 6 hours of our home in Missouri. My daughter picked Iowa so I searched for things to do and places to stay. This rental was perfect location to the heart of Des Moines. 5-10 min drive to everything we did. Concert at the Wells Fargo arena, zoo, monsterama arcade, bowling, escape room, and many restaurants. Beds were comfortable and each room had a smart tv. Kitchen had everything needed plus some . Plenty of towels and laundry on site. ##### Jessica A. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Theresa C.

The upstairs shower drains pretty slow. Loved having the ability to wash clothes but the dryer door would not stay closed!! That being said, we would stay here again and really appreciated your communication with us and allowing us to enter early! ##### Theresa C.

Charming older house, but has been updated. Clean and well kept, and the owners were great to deal with with excellent communication. Would definitely stay there again. ##### Jason O.
