Downtown | Free Parking | Gym

JohnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
After a long trip into Des Moines we easily found a parking place, and with the instructions pretty much just walked right into the apartment with no effort at all. The apartment was awesome! Simple retro furnishings combined with the industrial construction gave the place just the right vibe to relax in and just felt, 'right'. Any time I thought I needed something, I opened a cabinet or looked in a closet, and there it was. And the view of downtown... wow. Everything else - parking was easy and felt safe. The apartment was right there after coming in - no long walks. Just a short walk down the hill and across the beautiful bridge to downtown. Lots of night life and great food just a few blocks away, yet distant enough that no noise followed you home. Looking forward to the next time I can take Diego up on his hospitality! Cheers!

May Special Promotion!*Poolside*2 King Beds*Garage

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was about one mile from Jordan Creek Mall. the apartment was very clean and spacious enough for blow up mattress in the living room. The apartment overlooked the pool on the ground level. There are a lot of restaurants, Top golf, Movie theatre and the mall. We went to Smash Park and played all kinds of games from Pickleball to Baggo/Washers. We would definitely be willing to stay here in the future. Michelle from Ofallon, MO.

Nice & Lofty 1bed/1bath in DSM - Pool-Gym-Parking

RyanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Had a very nice stay in Des Moines and the Air B&B was nice and clean and the bed was big and comfy. Nice view the City. I like to cook and having just some salt anf pepper and maybe some olive oil on hand could really do wonders for the kitchen situation but they had good pots and utensils etc. One thing that could improved is the coffee maker - the carafe doesn't fit the maker and grounds would go everywhere inside the coffee maker when trying to brew a pot. These are all minor things that would not prevent us from wanting to stay there again. Overall it was a wonderful experience with a great view of the city and it was close and convenient to good restaurants, breweries/bars etc. We even walked to Principal Field and caught an Iowa Cubs game. It was a great time!

Cozy Boho-Chic Downtown 2BD/2BR

TannerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
When we checked in we had a quick concern with a slight odor, Dan was quick to respond and fixed it first thing in the morning. He was friendly and easy to work with. The unit itself was great, it was very secure with several areas where a key fob was required to access the floors, it was clean, and an overall great place. Very happy with Dan and the location.

We had a great time in Des Moines! Dans place was exactly as described and even tho we only stayed one night it was great value.

Large 1 Bed apt in the Heart of Downtown

RickRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I enjoyed my stay. I was there for the Ironman 70.3 and the Ironman Village was right down the street. The communication was clear, proactive, and prompt. The unit is spotless. Everything works as expected. It feels like a corporate owned property. That’s the impression I got from the communication and notice on the fridge. The little touches feel cheap. The bed and pillows are cheap. The kitchen supplies feel like they came from Goodwill - there is a mix-n-match feeling. There is only one small frying pan. None of the lamps have usb outlets. It’s still a 5 ⭐️ place. I’d recommend it. The price is fair.
A rooftop terrace offers scenic views of downtown Des Moines, featuring lounge seating with orange cushions and a shaded pergola. Dining tables and chairs are arranged for gatherings, with a grill area positioned nearby for outdoor cooking.
