Downtown Concert ready

The loft worked perfectly for our one night trip and our party of four. We didn’t spend much time in the loft other than to sleep and shower. Great location for Wells Fargo Arena because it’s in walking distance with many restaurants in between.

Beautiful Comfortable Space

Great space and location. Dan is an excellent host and ready to help with any need you have. It is quite a walk around the floor and up a bunch of steps to get to the unit. If you’re bringing groceries or a lot of bags be prepared. Parking is convenient to the space, across the street and with sky walk access on one side. If you’re a wine drinker be sure to bring your own glasses, there are only shot glasses, martini glasses, tall water glasses and coffee mugs. Also no options for recycling.

Nice place. Great location and communication

The property was as advertised and in great shape. Perfect place for downtown Des Moines and good communication from host on checking in and out. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that outside of the loft and the first floor bedroom it could have used some auxiliary heating due to the cold. Since it was january a lot of cold air gets in through the window which isn't the fault of the host but just be prepared. We would use it again despite this.

A great first impression of Iowa!

A friend and I visited Des Moines for the weekend and Dan made the process as easy and smooth as possible! Responses were very quick if we had any questions, and he even checked in to make sure everything was going well the day after we got settled! Didn’t have any worries about the place, which allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest! Would definitely recommend and come back!!

Inaccurate but serviceable

This sleeps 4, not 5, as neither of the sofas is a sleeper as listed. A small person can comfortably sleep but anyone too broad or tall would need an actual sleeper. When I pointed this out, I was offered an air mattress, but that's not what the listing says it provides. I also asked ahead of checking in for clarification on whether both sofas were pullouts since only one sleeper was listed and they looked identical in pictures. That question was ignored until after check in. Parking being "affordable" is inaccurate as that's subjective and should be listed in full. Unless you want to risk street parking (still metered), parking is 1 an hour. At best that's 24 a day, and with 2 vehicles for 4 nights, that was a 200 added expense.Saying you might occasionally hear neighbors is a huge inaccuracy as well, as having any neighbors in the adjoining units means clearly hearing everything they say and do. You'll find yourself whispering because you know they can hear everything you say too. It says after getting off the elevator and turning towards the unit, there are 5 steps to go up. There are 8.If the above could at least be spelled out clearly for potential customers, some people might be okay, but arriving to experience it all unaware made it a miserable stay.
