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?

Great location close to downtown

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.

Big room, very quiet. excellent on-line communication.

Steps a little difficult to negotiate.

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.

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!

A hidden gem in Des Moines! Everything you could need and more was found in this spacious loft! Down to the minor details, every thing was covered This darling place more than met our expectations!

what was not to like? This place was exceptional!

Wonderful place, roomy, clean, peaceful, quite. Will definitely return.
