Great house in a super safe neighborhood that is convenient to pretty much anywhere in Des Moines. Added bonus, kids loved the playground across the street. Owner was very responsive to our minor issues (lost a remote) and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was perfect for our family get-together. Spacious is exactly the right word, everyone had plenty of room. Still, the best part was eating and playing games together in the dining room and kitchen. The neighborhood is so pretty and idyllic, we took an evening walk in the park. Communication with the host was easy, friendly, and quick, and there were no issues of any kind. We will gladly come back again soon!
