10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated and just as described in the listing. The host was an amazing communicator and very prompt with replies. This was one of our best stays with VRBO and probably our most responsive host. The one problem we had (of my own making. I lost the key) was taken care of in just a few hours. This was a wonderful respite for my family. My sister was having heart surgery in Des Moines and we wanted to be close to the hospital for her surgery and follow up recovery appointments. I highly recommend this property and this host. Thank you Tiana and Zach for a wonderful stay."
