Overall, the interior was clean. The outside needs some attention. The location is very good. Close to shopping, restaurants and the interstate. The neighborhood is quiet and safe.

Wonderful stay

The house is clean and nice. Quite little neighborhood far enough out of downtown to be quite but close enough to be very convenient to get to any activity at all the convention centers.

Comfy home

Our family stayed at this house for a long weekend. The kitchen was well-stocked for meal prep, the living room was cozy and inviting, the bedrooms were everything we needed. It was easy to stroll around the neighborhood and to visit nearby shops. We would stay again. The dining space is a small space in the kitchen which works well for a couple of people, but is not as well suited for a larger group if you need to do a sit-down meal at a table. Check-in was a breeze and the hosts easy to work with.

Surprisingly spacious and clean

Excellent location, "bigger on the inside" house. The only drawback is there's only one bathroom, but it wasn't an issue since I was only staying with one other person. I would definitely stay here again.

Traveling with Dogs

great location and easy to get around town. We stayed at the VRBO so we could go to the Farm Progress show in Boone, IA - we had dogs with us and we really appreciated the fenced in yard and the finished basement area for the "dog sleeping room".

Great place to stay

Great location and neighborhood. House was very clean. Nice backyard. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen and bathroom. Overall was a very nice place to stay. Would definitely book here again. A couple of things that I might mention is there is not a railing for the steps to the entrance of the house and the front blinds on the bay window are a bit broken a one missing.

Clean, quiet house - just as advertised

Enjoyed a long weekend here - working part of the time and watching the Drake Relays. The house was lovely - updated and very clean - it looked just like the pictures. The neighborhood was quiet. Was nice to eat at the table on the back deck when it was nice out - limited table seating inside but didn’t affect us. Would stay here again!

Sweet time in Des Moines with family.

The space was perfect! We mainly used the house for sleep since our days were full elsewhere. Our beds were confortable and bedrooms distanced such that we didn’t disturb each other with various bedtimes. I loved the 1/2 mile walk to the bakery across the freeway! We would definitely stay there again.

Quick weekend trip

Worked perfect for our family. We have young children and it was nice to have the fenced in back yard and ample space for them to play. Neighborhood was ok. Good location for getting downtown quickly, close to restaurants. Minor issue with some water seeping up from the kitchen floor on our arrival, but owner was quick to respond.

Excellent location for my needs (father at Mercy Hospital) - needing to be close to hospital. Backyard (fenced in) was a Godsend with 20 degree temps. Jackie was great to communicate with😊

In Town for Iowa State Fair

Quiet neighborhood and clean house. A/C was welcomed and great hot water. Cozy kitchen, comfortable bed. Did need another shade in living room, a new bulb in the bedroom lamp, and TV was a puzzle. But overall a very enjoyable stay. In spite of ongoing street construction(s), easy to get to desired locations, close to grocery store.

Very cute house

Enjoyed our stay. House and backyard are very cute. Although it was convenient being close to 235, there was a lot of construction in the area so some roads were closed. I would recommend doing something with the beds - they squeak even when sitting on the edge. Next time we are in Des Moines, we will be looking at staying here again.

Second time staying, clean and cute

This is our second time staying at "Birdie" and it's really nicely maintained, even a few updates from our last stay. Always clean and cozy, love that dogs are welcome and the backyard was perfect for that. We got a little snow/frost during our stay and someone even came by to salt the driveway and walkway. WiFi signal could be a little stronger for streaming, but everything else is great.
