A great spot! Close to downtown Des Moines, clean, comfortable. The garage is tight for two cars, but we made it work. Otherwise, no complaints.

We had a wonderful time! We came up for a girls weekend for the Des Moines Women’s half marathon. Great location—easy to get to the race for the packet pick up and race morning. The host was prompt with our questions. The overall condo was very clean, beds were very comfy with extra pillows. And allowing us to have a late check out on Sunday was fantastic! We would definitely stay here again!

Des Moines Trip

The property was very nice and clean... check-in was a bit confusing because there was another apartment with the same number right next door. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and it was probably one of the cleanest/nicest VRBOs I've ever stayed in.

Parking was a huge inconvenience. We weren’t able to park the vehicle we drove there. Had to switch cars with a family member. There absolutely should have been disclosure as to what size vehicles can be accommodated

Sister’s weekend

Very clean and modern. Decor and attention to detail was appreciated. Parking was a bit of a challenge. Although a two car garage was described in the listing and available it’s really meant for compact cars.
