Gotta spend the weekend with my three daughters we went and did some stuff and then came back at night. The only downfall is the furniture is not comfortable and there’s only one TV.

Quiet and Comfortable! Baby Friendly!
We had a great stay! The home was very comfortable, the street was quiet and the location was great - close to where we needed to go, plus close to restaurants and shopping. The travel crib and the high chair were very appreciated!

Charming home in quiet neighborhood
I was in Des Moines for a week for appointments with my son. I stayed for 5 nights. I had my 5 year old and 8 year old with me. The house was a perfect size for us. The kitchen had all the tools I needed for making meals. The beds are the foam temperpedic type. A bit too firm for me but that it a personal preference. The kids slept great on it. The rooms have black out curtains which is one reason I chose this house. So many houses have no curtains or thin ones. I need dark when I sleep! The kids enjoyed the play fort and swings. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. It was close to grocery stores. I looked at many properties in Des Moines area before choosing this house. It had more charm and a yard.

Foam beds
We enjoyed everything about our stay. Cute house. Nice quiet dead end street with very quick and easy access to main roads. Our only complaints were the foam mattresses only because we are seniors and they are so difficult to turn over in. Thank you Ali for your quick responses ! FYI: don’t lock the door from the inside when you leave. Only lock the door with the combination the same way you unlock it. Blessings. Marcia

Fantastic Stay
The place was absolutely perfect, very clean and on a quiet street. The only thing was the Internet wasn't really working nor could we get the TV to work, but it wasn't necessary for our stay. Just something I thought we would mention to have looked at!

Cute house with fun decor! We were in town to visit my daughter at Drake and this home was close enough to get to campus quickly and provided enough space for our family to gather. The check-in and out process was super easy and the host was very responsive to messages. Would definitely stay again!

Good Location
We wanted to be close to downtown for a short drive to the Botanical Gardens and Des Moines Art Center, and in a neighborhood where we felt safe. This home met those expectations. It's in a quiet spot (dead-end street) and even has an apple tree in the back yard.
