Overall Okay

There were no major problems with this property other than the carpet on the stairs was very dirty. Other small details were that there were not enough towels and only 1 large spoon in the silverware drawer. Also, a bit of extra toilet paper would have been nice.

Misleading and disappointing

Our group came to Des Moines for a funeral. We immediately noticed this was not in a quiet location as specified, but on the corner of a very busy street. The exterior didn’t look well maintained and before entering, we noted the broken blinds and broken flooring and junk in the entrance. Once inside, the first thing we noticed was that it looked nothing like the pictures in the listing. The pictures showed a light, bright interior and this didn’t even have the same furnishings and was dark. Almost all the blinds were bent with whole sections broken out of them. There were not enough towels for us and no hand towels or washcloths. There were no additional blankets or throws and only enough hangers for us to have one each. The walls and cabinetry were shabby and needed repair and paint. Although the dishes in the dishwasher were dirty, the rest of the place was clean. I do want to note that when I communicated these things to the property manager, she made sincere efforts to fix what she could. She had someone drop off additional towels, washcloths and throw blankets. The hair dryer was missing; she asked me to purchase one and reimbursed me and she gave a 10% discount off our first night. However, the overall dinginess and disrepair were not things she could fix. We were planning to have a few relatives visit, but couldn’t do that with the condition of the place. While I can’t recommend this property, the manager got 5 stars because she tried to make things better.

Cute Cottage in Des Moines

The entire process from start to finish was smooth. The house is as it appears in the pics. We stayed here during the hinterland music festival. It was in a nice and safe neighborhood, plenty of options to get coffee and bagel in the mornings. Quick access to the freeways. The house was clean and spacious with a lot of closets. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes. We had a minor glitch before the arrival and Sheryl handled it very well and professionally. Life happens, how well you take care of situations is what matters and Sheryl took care of it very well. Throughout our stay she was available on text and messages and made sure we had a comfortable stay. Midwest hospitality at its finest. RECOMMEND!!!
