The space was exactly as described. Very minimal but we didn’t need much as we were just there to sleep. Great location and within walking distance to coffee shops, bars and restaurants.

I lived in an upper floor unit before moving into this ground floor unit for an extra week. This is a comfortable unit with all amenities that one would need for a short term or long term stay. The upper floor unit I stayed earlier in had a nice view of downtown Des Moines. This ground floor unit overlooks the sidewalk and if you are squeamish about privacy, you are better off booking the upper floor unit. On my part, I opened the blinds wide open and sat at the Dining table with my computer and the walkers by the window kept me somewhat entertained. You can always close the blinds for privacy, but that would mean turning on the lights. Overall, great value and good stay.

Was looking forward to a nice view 4th floor balcony and nice couch and bed with big bedroom very nice and had to be switched to a first floor 1 window place that was not nearly as nice as the place we had payed for I have asked for a discount and a ticket has been made so we will see what they do to accommodate there mess up that was very upsetting and not what I had payed for nor do I think the place we stayed was at all worth the price we payed And I think of waiting to tell me after I was there and was no key in the box that they had to move us they should I sent a msg as soon as they found out they couldn’t give us that room
