"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. "

"The prioperty was exactly as described. Very spacious, clean and a great value for the price. The location was excellent as we needed to be in downtown Des Moines. The only negative at all was the sketchy feel to the neighborhood. The Bodega next to the property entrance always had a number of people milling around day and night, and there was a Police presence there several times which made us wonder. We had no problems personally. "
