We recommend this comfortable, quiet, welcoming, well-maintained, and convenient apartment!

We really enjoyed staying the Historical Oscar Lofquist House. The owner kindly met us as we drove in (though I think it would still be easy to figure everything out if she weren't available). She was very helpful, explaining all necessary information to two weary travelers. The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated, and well supplied with everything one could need. We got in late and left fairly early the next morning to visit a relative in the area, so next time I hope to stay longer. The property is in a lovely historic neighborhood within 5 or 10 minutes of many fun destinations in Des Moines, including the art museum, botanical center, restaurants, Pappajohn Sculpture Park, science museum, etc. I have made many, many trips to Des Moines to visit family throughout the 54 years of my life, so I'm familiar with the city and can honestly say that the Oscar Lofquist House is in my favorite neighborhood!

Comfortable nights in a greatlocation.

The central location (I lived in DSM for 32 years) is ideal. The decor was nice. The kitchen was well equipped. The bath spotless. The bed excellent. Air conditioning was quiet and uniform.

2 small quibbles. #1 The listing said basic cable TV. We never could find familiar or local channels. A sheet of directions/channels for the TV would have been nice. #2 Where were the paper towels in the kitchen?

Beautiful, clean, quiet, relaxing stay. I would recommend. The owner was very helpful as well.

The location was beautiful. The property was quiet and relaxing which is just what we were looking for. I was able to enjoy my coffee on the patio in the morning. The room was very nice and clean. The kitchen had coffee and sugar available. There were plenty of dishes available to use. The only thing that could that may be an issue for someone is the bed hurt our backs, but there are 2 beds and we only tried one. Someone else noted, and it's worth mentioning if your traveling for business, that the bathroom door does not seal so it is not soundproof. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely stay again.

The bed could be more comfortable.

Very cool house. Very comy apartment!

The property was eye catching and very well maintained. The apartment was immaculate, very well apportioned with all the stated amenities. If you want to get away from the hotel/motel stay, this is the place to stay. Awesome rustic neighborhood. The proprietor was gracious and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.

Very good

It was a neat rooom!! It was smaller than it looks though. And the bathroom has a barn door so isn't verrrry private.. which isn't a big deal.. but worth mentioning.

Kind of just an fyi.FYI.. this website let's you book a later check out than they allow. Our check out was 5.. I think she said their latest is 1pm.. It was honestly a great experience.. but I thought that part is worth mentioning. She was really nice about it.. and it is a neat place!

Extremely comfortable and a great location.

The home and neighborhood are both beautiful. The room was very spacious and well equipped. It is unfortunate that it was only a one day stay for us because it would have been great to spend more time in the property and the area.
