This property and the hosts really made for an incredible visit to Des Moines, Iowa. The hosts went out of their way to ensure the property was ready for us a day earlier than anticipated. The house and property were flawlessly maintained and extremely comfortable. With three bedrooms, two baths, large fenced yard, and a basement full of games like table tennis, this is the perfect place for an active family. Not to mention, its location in an extremely safe and walkable area. The State Capital and Arts District are approximately 17 minutes away. Restaurants and major retailers are 10 minutes away. Oh, and if travelling with your 4-legged, fur Angel, look no further! This is THE property for you. Our Sheltie loved the large, fully fenced backyard! Additionally, 10 minutes down the road, is "Paws & Pints," a $10M dollar off-the-chart dog park. Located on 4.4 acres, this immaculately maintained park offers a full bar and restaurant for you while your pup chows down on a homemade selection from the dog menu. This park is sparkling clean in all areas, at all times, with indoor and outdoor dog parks, comfortable seating areas, boarding and spa, Bonetique, training, etc. Given this VRBOs cordial hosts, extremely reasonable rate, comfort, quality, exceptional amenities, and location, we would give this property 10+ Stars if we could! If you want a relaxing vacation with great amenities and everything nearby, this property is THE ONLY place to stay when in West Des Moines. ##### Cyndi K.

Quiet neighborhood, not far from Interstate. House well stocked with items like towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, extra blankets, kitchen supplies, fun stuff to pass time in basement. Fyi - it's a great old home, but the floors are very squeaky in spots. If you have light sleepers, could be a problem. We'd stay here again if need be. ##### Josh B.
