Worked For Our Needs!
In general this property worked for our needs for a quick stay in Des Moines, IA area. We liked having 4 bedrooms & 2.5 baths & the fact that we could bring our dog. The property was adequately clean & kitchen was fairly stocked. We enjoyed using the deck where we could spread out as the main living area kitchen/breakfast nook & family room are on the small side. For dog families - the yard is not fenced.

Home away from home
We stayed here for a few nights while our own home was being remodeled. Property was very clean and just as described. Host communication was great and neighborhood was quiet. Someone showed up to put ice melt down during an ice storm, which was a pleasant surprise.

College Reunion

Friends Weekend
The home, check-in and the location were great. However, there were several lights that did not work, there was no guide how to manage the TV channels (similar to what you get in a hotel), and the oven took extremely long time to cook food. There was limited towels available, no Kleenex’s or trash cans in the bedrooms. These are minor things but they impacted our final impression.

Nice House
We stayed here on two separate trips to the area in less than a month both times the house was exactly as shown. It is a really nice place, great neighborhood, very clean, and had good parking. Beds were comfortable and we felt we had plenty of space. Would be look to stay here again if in the area. Highly recommend for those who are looking.

Couple Maintenance Things
The fridge leaks water on the floor - not sure from where
The upstairs shower sprays water outside of the shower and needs to be addressed
These are just things that need fixed. Was a nice place!

We had to come into town on last minute notice for our mother’s funeral. And the host was accommodating on working with us, as we had last minute arrangements to make. We greatly appreciate!! Thank you!!

Neighborhood Home
Urbandale was a great location for us to use as a home base. We spend several days exploring Des Moines and the surrounding area.
This house is well equipped and spacious with a nice deck on the back.
