Guests will access the unit using a key & fob that will be retrieved from a lockbox outside the complex.

This unit is in the heart of downtown and in a large complex with other tenants. There may be times when hear cars on the street, emergency vehicles, people outside or in the unit, events, construction and other typical urban sounds. While we don't believe it's abnormally noisey, we do mention this in all of our downtown listings in order to provide full transparency!

PARTY FEE: Parties including excess guests beyond the amount in the reservations as well as abnormally loud groups may be subject to a fee up to $1000. We enthusiastically welcome guests who aim to enjoy the amenities while maintaining respect for our neighbors within the complex!

NOISE MONITORING: In consideration of our community of neighbors in this expansive complex, we've implemented a Minut Sound Monitoring device within the unit. Rest assured, this device does not record any audio; instead, it monitors decibel levels and keeps track of occupancy. As responsible hosts, our commitment to being good neighbors is reinforced by using this technology, which provides us and our guests with alerts in case sound levels exceed the appropriate threshold. It's our way of ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable environment for everyone.

SECURITY CAMERA: There is a ring doorbell located outside the front door facing down the public hallway that records audio and video 24/7 for guests safety. If the device is tampered with the reservation may be cancelled with no refund.

Will be back!

Overall great apt! Communication was great! Check in wasn't ideal- requested early check in- 1 hour, as we had an athletic event that started at check in. It didn't work out- which is fine, but getting keys late at night and being approached by a few men asking for money wasn't a good start. Floors/counters could have been cleaned better. I was told it was b/c I asked for early check in, but that didn't happen so I feel they could have done better. Section of a rug was a trip hazard- we put a chair over it, so we didn't go that way. Layout was great and spacious. Kitchen was stocked with pans and other items to cook all our meals. Location was great- walkable to hyvee and our events. Skywalk was a little tricky, one set of doors shows 'unlocked until 6pm', but was always locked. This property manager is always quick to respond- we will def be back.

Lovely place

Check in was a bit challenging as we don’t get out much! The place is beautiful, clean and comfy. The neighborhood was a bit noisy and some loud drunken individuals kept my spouse awake . I slept through it. Great location so we could walk to Noche!

Good sized apartment in downtown Des Moines

Nice, open concept living area was nice. Good sized bedrooms with high ceilings. Bathroom is a little small for sharing with four people, but that is to be expected in a downtown apartment. Good location with on street metered parking available right next to the building. Apartment was in general clean, but some areas could use a deep clean (older carpet and dusty baseboards). Overall, we enjoyed the space and our stay. Would recommend it to others.

Get Place!

Dan was great and quick at communicating with us. Dan gave us ideas for parking and places to see. Read the direction for check in and check out carefully which will result in easy entry when you arrive. Location is near restaurants and a short walk to the Cubs Stadium. The apartment with clean smelled fresh. We'd definitely stay here again!

Nice condo

The condo was easy to check in and out of and was very nice and clean. Dishes were provided along with towels and a hair dryer in the bathroom. A laundry room was also in the condo available for use with detergent pods provided. Communication with the host was easy. Overall was a good place to stay.

Spacious and modern

Apartment is very nice on the inside. Large rooms with tall windows. Not all windows have shades on them so that was a little uncomfortable. Kitchen has limited cooking utensils and pots/pans which was a disadvantage for us as we were wanting to make meals. No toaster to be found also. Location wise: entrance is not well marked and difficult to find. Not much for street side parking to unload your things if traveling with many bags/small children. There was a good amount of homeless people hanging around building but the building has double doors with FOB access that have 3 check points for security so that made us feel very safe. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Would stay here again.

Perfect for farmers market

We travel for the farmers market every Memorial weekend since 2019 and the hotels locally were just outrageous this year. Happen to check VRBO and this listing was available. 2 blocks walk to the market, few blocks to nice restaurants and parking. Secure entrance and convenient to the elevator. Space was perfect for us. Small but not too small but not big either. Four of us stayed and were very comfortable. Highly recommend this location
