Wonderful stay!
Gorgeous property that easily accommodates 9 people! Ample parking and easily driveable to downtown Des Moines.
Our stay at the house in Iowa for the national speech and debate tournament was delightful. Despite being an older home, it was well-updated and impeccably clean. Accommodating five teenagers and myself, we all slept comfortably, although sharing just two bathrooms required some coordination.
The proximity to downtown was a major plus, allowing us easy access to the tournament venues and local amenities. The property manager was exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond by providing an extra fan for one of the rooms.
Overall, our experience was excellent, thanks to the cozy accommodations, convenient location, and outstanding hospitality.
