747 38th Street · Cozy North of Grand DT Home - 2 bedroom / 1.5 bath

Enjoy a fabulous downtown Des Moines experience at this centrally-located rental property.

This quaint, quiet & cozy home features a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, two-story nook with 1,065 sq feet. This newly remodeled and recently fully furnished property falls in Des Moines's highly sought after "North of Grand" neighborhood on the west side. This property has been fully updated with brand new wood flooring (on the first level), modern style baseboards throughout & Wainscoting in the dining area.

This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, two-story rental property features 1,065 livable square feet and a lot size just under a 6,000 square feet. Nestled within the highly sought after "North of Grand" neighborhood - this was a tastefully renovated and remodeled home which was built back in the late 1800's.

The first floor consists of a family room, dining room, kitchen, office area, laundry area (off kitchen), along with a half bath located underneath the staircase. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms both equipped with Queen size beds, flat screen Smart TVS's (offering YouTubeTV Live Streaming Services), nightstands and closets furnished with hangers, extra bedding and pillows.

You can also help yourself to a nice picnic with family and friends at the table located just off of the front porch (seats 6).

The picture on the app made it look newer than it really was. I knew it was remodeled but the house was older than expected. Still a nice place to stay

We were visiting family and rented this little place for five of us. It gave us great access and a nice location. It allows pets and has a small fenced in yard for free range. Would rent again, thanks for the stay.

Great stay on a budget
I thought this was a pretty nice property. The doors were a little finicky and didn't want to stay closed all of the time, but as old if a house as it was that is to be expected. For the price it was an extremely nice place to spend the night though. I thought it had everything we needed.

Perfect family home!
We really enjoyed our stay at this family friendly home. Everything was as described in the listing. We didn’t hear or see any of the neighbors as it was so quiet in the neighborhood. The kitchen was fully stocked and having access to the washer and dryer was nice. The grocery store and many restaurants are a very short drive away. The property manager was quick to respond to questions and our request for an early check in. The only enhancement would be an instruction book on how to use the thermostat and TV. We will plan to stay here again in the future.

No communication
We arrived at the house to find it very unlike the pictures. Smell was musty. There was no wifi and no service. Upon contacting property manager, he gave us wrong passwords and information that was not helpful. He stated he would help us get a refund as we no longer wanted to stay and decided to get a hotel. His communication was excellent until he completely stopped and we have heard nothing from him or the owner. A 50% refund would have been sufficient but nothing. I was incredibly disappointed especially after seeing such good reviews!

Yellow cottage
The check-in was smooth. The kitchen was well appointed. All amenities were nice and working. Additional surprise of a garage and a picnic table in the front yard. The Management company was usually responsive, except over a long holiday weekend I texted Friday night , but had to recontact the following Tuesday …the issue was worked on that week . I had a lovely lengthy stay . The location is great for easy access to the freeway . Centrally located making it easy to get anywhere in the metro area

Nice stay in Des Moines
My husband, two daughters (8 &10) and I stayed at the house for the weekend to attend my daughter's swim meet downtown. It was an easy drive downtown and in a decent neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well! My only problem was the limited, or lack of, water pressure in the home. If that can be remedied, this would be a go-to spot for the yearly swim event!
