Everything was very nice. Owner had small children running around in upstairs living unit which was a little noisy in evening hours. No other issues and overall a nice spot. Liked neighborhood area, in spring the firepit area looks like a nice addition.

Everything was perfect and easy. Great place to stay for appointments we had in Des Moines, to see family and friends and just to relax. The location is perfect, especially because it was across from the tennis courts and I played tennis for Roosevelt in the 80’s!
