"Comminication was great! We had a couple little hiccups along the way, but she resolved everything quickly. I also made a couple little suggestions on small amenities that we felt would have made our stay even better. She seemed very open to our suggestions, and vowed to include them in the future. It was a very central location to our event, and I loved how easy it was to get in and out of the place, and to other places in the Des Moines area. We already plan on booking it for our stay...

"Great restaurants nearby. Restful stay after a long day of activities. The apartment was well stocked and had everything needed. Was a little noisy on the streets, but one should expect this in a downtown, especially on a Saturday night. Parking was not an issue for us, but a little planning is needed for luggage drop off and vehicle logistics. "
