Beautiful home
This house is in a great location and very nice. It was a great place for a girls weekend away for shopping. My only comment would be we didn't have the 6 chairs at the table like we expected. Great host!

West DesMoines VRBO
Did not like the VRBO message system. It would only let me in if I was connected to wi fi. The home needed more kitchen accessories, large mixing bowl, dish towels and wash clothes, and a few more fry pans.

Nice place
Property was clean and nicely decorated. There could be a few extra touches but overall really nice. Big issue was the bathrooms were listed at 3 bathrooms when it was actually 2.5. This made it difficult for 8 adults to schedule shower time.

Convenient Location and Great for Pets
We stayed at this property to help our adult child with a cross-country move to start medical school in the DSM area. The house is in a convenient location near tons of retail and restaurants. We also brought our dog and he loved the backyard and nice neighborhood to walk in. The owner was super communicative and accommodating in allowing us to have some packages shipped directly to the property. When a smoke detector had a bad battery, the owner took care of it in less than half a day. Great house and great host!

Graduation
Loved this place and the host Daniel was great with communicating with us. Everything was nice and clean and just as pictured. Neighborhood was quiet. Being able to use the garage was a plus and sitting on the deck was especially nice. If I had to request anything it would be to have dresser/chest of drawers in the bedrooms, but this would not deter me from staying there again. Most definitely a very pleasant stay and better than the hotels.

Great location and accommodated everyone (group of 10)
We had 8 adults and 2 children staying for the weekend. Everyone had their own space and was comfortable. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and plenty of linens for our needs. Location of the property was near perfect for everything we had planned. If you have kids or pets, the yard leaves quite a bit to be desired. A little upkeep there and all's good. Daniel was "Johnny on the Spot" with communication so no issues there. Clean dishes were left in the dishwasher when we arrived and we discovered damage to the couch in the living...which we communicated to Daniel immediately. Other than the yard needing some care, I would recommend having some additional seating available. For a group as big as ours, half of us were sitting on the floor when hanging out or eating together.

Great location for what we needed.
We traveled during the blizzard and arrived the evening of 15" of snow fall. The property was very nice as expected. The manager communicated with us trying to ensure the driveway would be cleared with all the snowfall for our arrival. Neighbors were great when we got our vehicle stuck out in the unplowed street. They helped us get to the driveway. The city a short while later had the streets cleaned. great weekend for us.

Short hometown getaway with the furbabies
Cute house in a active neighborhood. House was clean and decorated with a boho modern theme. My dogs enjoyed the large backyard, with friendly surrounding neighbors and pup. Loved having garage access so my dogs could come and go from the property safely and without a worry. Master bedroom was spacious and mattress was cozy. Property is located close to the interstate, food, and grocery store which is super convenient. Listing mentions some slight noise from nearby interstate, but I actually liked the noise. Overall we had a great stay!
