i would definitely not return to this property. it was not clean - dusty, the kitchen drawers were dirty, the coffee pot had not been cleaned, the towels were musty smelling and window blinds broken and window sills in poor state. The description of a fully stocked kitchen is deceiving as there are very few pots and pans (nothing to boil pasta in), limited forks and only one serving bowl. Also the pictures were deceiving as there really is nowhere to sit as the bench in the kitchen has stools that are too high to be used. It was dirty,run down and ill equipped.

Overall, we enjoyed staying here. Lots of bedrooms and very close to downtown. For the amount of bedrooms though, there could have been more towels in the bathrooms.

Unfortunately we had to leave early due to a family emergency, but honestly would not have stayed overnight there anyway. Almost every blind had broken pieces, there was dust everywhere, mold in the main shower. It's in a very sketchy part of town and we were shocked when we looked up the criminal activitiy in the area since Dec 2022, something we should have done prior to booking. The person staying in the apartment below was blaring music so loud we couldn't hear each other talk when walking up the steps. None of my family felt safe.

We had some confusion with the heating system. But once that was worked out (which was easy) we were pleasantly pleased with the apartment. 4 bdr 2 bath more than enough space for the 3 of us. We would have been hard pressed to find a motel that would even come close. The price was quite fair and would reserve again in the future. Thank you for a pleasant stay. Chuck S.

We were in town for a gymnastics meet and had to go to the Convention Center. Great proximity to downtown, five minutes is all. The overall condition of the unit was good. It is old but has been recently updated. We were there in summer and some of the back rooms got a little warm, but not too bad. The owner communicated with us very well and was friendly.

It was a cute little property! Perfect for the weekend we had planned for downtown Des Moines. The only suggestion I would have is to put a full-length mirror (or any size, really) somewhere in the apartment since there aren't as many bathrooms as bedrooms and getting 8 people ready was a little bit of a struggle. Other than that- it was great for us!
