Prepare to embark on a journey through time without leaving the comfort of your one-bedroom retreat. This enchanting loft boasts 12.5-foot ceilings that reach for the stars, exposed pipes that dance with character, and timber beams that tell tales of yesteryear.

Calling all culinary connoisseurs! The fully stocked kitchen is a playground for your inner chef. Equipped with wine glasses, shot glasses (for those "just because" moments), a blender for spontaneous smoothie creations, ice to keep your drinks frosty, and chef knives to slice through culinary adventures. And let's not forget the coffee bar, featuring several options, tea packets, flavored syrups, decaf for the calm moments, and a Chemex coffee maker plus a French press for the coffee aficionados.

But that's not all – the location is the pièce de résistance! Nestled in the beating heart of downtown Des Moines, you're surrounded by a kaleidoscope of nightlife, stellar restaurants that dance with flavor, groceries for your midnight cravings, cookies that defy gravity, aromatic coffee wafting through the air, and breweries pouring liquid dreams.

For those seeking a cultural fix, the Wells Fargo Center and Science Station are just a stone's throw away, inviting you to expand your horizons. Worried about parking? Fear not! Your chariot awaits right outside the building, ensuring your adventures begin and end with ease.

So, why settle for ordinary when you can experience the extraordinary? Book your stay at The Raven and let the magic unfold in downtown Des Moines! ...seriously, do it.

Money down the drain! Neglectful host!

We booked this unit for two-nights, but left within an hour due to serious safety concerns.The building absolutely REEKED of “substance”. The elevator was out of service, a long-standing issue according to a resident, meaning it should have been disclosed by the host. It took us several trips to carry our luggage up multiple flights of stairs. Within these multiple trips, we literally witnessed two “transactions” between men wearing SKI MASKS!! Needless to say, we felt uneasy and unsafe. While the apartment itself was nicely furnished, it didn't make up for the surrounding environment being dangerous and unacceptable for paying guests. We tried remaining optimistic, but we just couldn't force ourselves to get settled-in. I ended up contacting Vrbo to cancel due to the extenuating circumstances, but was denied a refund since our reservation had technically “already started” Still, we chose to leave, as our safety and experience wasn’t worth the cost of staying!After vacating the property, I messaged the host directly to express my concerns and let them know we wouldn't be staying. Though prior communication had been prompt, they completely neglected my message! To my dismay, the next time I heard from them was the following day via an automated message thanking us for our "stay" and asking us to leave a 5-star review!!We later found out the complex is primarily income-restricted, which is something guests should be able to take into consideration before booking.
