"Clean home and convenient location. Beds for 10, but living space is a little small for a group this size, e.g. kitchen table only had four chairs. Minimal kitchen untensils/pots/pans, so if you plan on cooking you may want to bring a few things."

The Vintage Haven. A cozy home 5 mins from Downtown Des Moines. Pet-Friendly
6.0 out of 10, 1 review
"This house wasn't "bad" it just wasn't great. This pictures reflect the actual house for the most part BUT...there were some issues. Firstly, this is an older home in every way. It feels like this place only had 50% of the updates needed to not feel like it's still in the 1970's. Also, the basement was definitely creepy. Going down there to wash clothes felt like stepping back in time...also it felt like a place somewhere could be held captive. Finally, the neighborhood itself didn't feel the...

"Let me start by saying that the property manager Tobias was a good communicator. We had our family Christmas reunion here. The 3 units worked out well for our out of town families to stay. This is an old place that still needs repairs here & there but what house over 100 years old doesn’t. I’m sure it was grand in its early days. I’m happy that the owners have plans for repairs & more updating because I hate to see old homes get run down. There was a leak under one of the kitchen sinks. The...

"Owner went out of her way to make sure that we were okay with the home after a previous tenant had a fire accident. She brought in another microwave to temporarily replace the damaged one. The home suited our needs just fine. Our only suggestion would be that we needed washcloths for main floor bath (there was only one). There seemed to be a lingering odor of pot in the house that might need to be addressed. Surprising that would be what we smelled instead of the smoke smell from the fire...
