Charming 2-bedroom house on a quiet secluded street . With Wi-Fi
10/10 Excellent
"This is an immaculately clean, beautifully renovated property with new appliances in a very quiet part of Des Moines, stayed 3 nights on our trip to the Iowa State Fair, very walkable to the Fairgrounds, perfect to avoid the traffic and parking. We enjoyed the quiet space on the deck off the master bedroom in the morning and evening. In the event that we’re ever back in Des Moines again, I would absolutely book again. I had originally booked 2 nights, and when plans changed, the host was able to accommodate an extra day, had great, prompt communication and check in was a breeze."
Fun, group friendly house close to fair! Sleeps 8
