Great house, great location for the mall
We stayed here because we were vendors at a local event happening at Merle Hay Mall. The location is amazing—very close to Merle Hay.House was well-kempt and clean. We had a brief issue with the access code not working, but we contacted the owner and she resolved it quickly, so top marks for good communication.I would stay here again.

Gotta spend the weekend with my three daughters we went and did some stuff and then came back at night. The only downfall is the furniture is not comfortable and there’s only one TV.

Charming home in quiet neighborhood
I was in Des Moines for a week for appointments with my son. I stayed for 5 nights. I had my 5 year old and 8 year old with me. The house was a perfect size for us. The kitchen had all the tools I needed for making meals. The beds are the foam temperpedic type. A bit too firm for me but that it a personal preference. The kids slept great on it. The rooms have black out curtains which is one reason I chose this house. So many houses have no curtains or thin ones. I need dark when I sleep! The kids enjoyed the play fort and swings. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. It was close to grocery stores. I looked at many properties in Des Moines area before choosing this house. It had more charm and a yard.

Foam beds
We enjoyed everything about our stay. Cute house. Nice quiet dead end street with very quick and easy access to main roads. Our only complaints were the foam mattresses only because we are seniors and they are so difficult to turn over in. Thank you Ali for your quick responses ! FYI: don’t lock the door from the inside when you leave. Only lock the door with the combination the same way you unlock it. Blessings. Marcia

The place was absolutely perfect, very clean and on a quiet street. The only thing was the Internet wasn't really working nor could we get the TV to work, but it wasn't necessary for our stay. Just something I thought we would mention to have looked at!
