The Good: The house itself is nice and well maintained. Communication with the property manager was excellent; she is very responsive and seems concerned about maintaining a nice property. Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water for showers and laundry. The home is thoughtfully stocked with initial supplies, including coffee, dishwasher tabs, TP, etc.
The Bad #1: Very inconsistent cleaning. Overall the house was adequately cleaned. The two glaring exceptions were the showers (including a MB shower curtain liner coated with mildew) and most of the floors. The property manager came by to rectify the curtain liner situation. My husband ended up cleaning the shower floor before we felt comfortable using it; and it was filthy.
The Bad #2: The other issue was the next door neighbor's barking dog. It appears that the dog lives in the garage. Any nearby outside activity, including the coming/going of their teenage kids, sets off the dog. The two bedrooms against that side of the house were kept awake two out of four nights.
As noted, the house is nice and overall everything was adequate. Great responsiveness from the property manager. But the two "bad" issues are deal breakers for us, and we won't be returning.

We were in town for my son’s wedding. This property allowed perfect space for family to stop and visit, ample sleeping space, two showers, and a nice kitchen to bring our own food and beverages. This property was a blessing for our family to make wonderful memories!

The back porch was amazing. In the morning it was shady, and in the evening the same, I think we ate every meal out there. Good location for us.
My husband and I stayed there with a daughter, her husband, and two of their daughters.
I think the icemaker might need some work. Broken white plastic pieces would come out with the ice, and some ice would leak onto floor. Otherwise, nice stay.

Clean, quiet home in a nice subdivision located on a cul du sac. Fenced in back yard, nice wooden deck with outdoor furniture. Location is great for shopping and restaurants. Owners were great to work with. When in Iowa, will look to rent again.

We stayed here for about 10 days, and we had everything we needed in the home and around us. The house is large and there is plenty of room and space. Well-equipped on every level and conveniently located to all that we needed. Joy was so helpful and responsive. Amazing host!!! The A/C went out during the heat wave in August, and Joy was on it. We had cool air within hours. Great home, great location, great host! Thanks!!

Overall, our stay was enjoyable in this spacious property.
The only downside was that the neighbors dog did bark a fair bit.

Nice property; nice neighborhood, conenient to groceries, and freeways.
Was missing some expectations on blankets, linen.
One overifing concern was the internal security cameras upstairs and downstairs (i.e. was anybody watching and/or listening).

Clean home with plenty of space for everyone. Fenced yard for the dogs too. Even a discount at the home owners restaurant and it was delicious.

We had a complicated issue, and with communication, we figured it out with the host.

The house upon arrival was not as clean as we left it. The entry door glass hadn’t been cleaned and dead flies lined the patio slider doors. The house is adequate but certainly outdated. The master shower curtain had not been cleaned in forever fortunately there was a large bottle of bleach that I used nearly half of on the curtain to clean it. The neighbor directly to the south keeps TWO large and LOUD dogs in their garage. Each morning at 6:20 and every evening at about 10:30 they would tie them to their basketball hoop adjacent to this property’s south side. The master bedroom is directly above them. They YIP, BARK, and GROWL THE ENTIRE TIME THEY ARE TIED UP. Usually they take them back in after 15 to 20 minutes. It was so bad I considered calling the ARL which my wife talked me out of. We told the owner the very first day and he shrugged and said “well we have only had one complaint”. Maybe they should spend a night.
If you need to be up by 6:20 and don’t mind going to bed after 11 this place is adequate. We were very happy to leave.

The house was just as described. The basement bedroom was huge and the 3 upstairs bedrooms were a nice size. The couch was super comfy!

Great open floor plan, so family in the kitchen can visit with people in the dining and living room.

We needed a four bed house for the week as we attended the Knoxville National Races, and this place was perfect. The house was roomy, clean, all amenities, and close to everything we needed (restaurants, grocery stores, gasoline). Would definitely stay here next time.

nice place to stay!
We enjoyed staying in the house. We had 4 adults and 4 children in our group. We had plenty of room to move around. We were in Des Moines for the national softball tournament.

Great Location to Downtown Des Moines
This was a great location to get to downtown Des Moines for the Saturday farmers market and art show. Quiet and well maintained neighborhood. Lots of room in the living room for our group of 5. Price was reasonable. Owner was responsive to the couple maintenance needs.

Our daughter's kitchen in Urbandale was being remodeled. We needed a place to celebrate our grandson confirmation. The open floor plan of this property worked very well for meals and relaxing with our group of 10 family and friends. Only four of us stayed at the property.

Property was ideal for out trip, and visiting children. Only issue is the water heater seems to be set very high. Almost burned myself in shower trying to adjust water temp. Also, could use an antenna to be able to get local channels on the tv.
