It was clean and comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. They even left us some dog treats! It was cold when we were in town, but I noticed a fire pit in the back yard that would be fun to use. I look forward to staying there again sometime. ##### Leilani R. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly G.

Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice, clean 3 Bdrm home close to wedding venues Charming house with lots of character indeed. Multi generational family stay with an infant. Plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed the outdoor space. One downside was we would have liked MORE bath towels and wash cloths. Both bathrooms have been updated considering the age of the house. Kitchen was also updated. We picked the house for the location as it was close to a wedding venue, Willow on Grand. ![Dining area with unique decor.

It was perfect for our family and was set up nicely with several noticeable upgrades. My son enjoyed the basketball hoop which was a surprise. The neighborhood was quiet and charming. It was perfect for an evening walk where we passed several neighborhood Little Free Libraries (loved). Easy access to the interstate and downtown. Make the trip downtown for Malo it's excellent! We'd definitely stay again and highly recommend. ##### Krista J. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jami B.

The communication with the host was fantastic. He got back to us immediately any time we had a question. The location is perfect for access to the interstate and we had to go to Waukee everyday so it made it so easy. The flow of the house was perfect for us, the amount of bedrooms with the size of beds fit our family great and we’re very comfortable. It is a quiet street. It was just an overall great stay and we will definitely be staying there again in the future. Thanks again and we will be booking again soon! ##### Jami B.
