Beautiful Property Close to Downtown

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Vrbo! The home was exactly as described—clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The location was ideal for our trip, close to downtown, but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and kind while booking our stay. We would 100% book this VRBO again when visiting Des Moines.

Perfect

We travel to Des Moines fairly regularly and have always stayed in hotels - this trip was sooo much better for having stayed here!! Location and accommodations were perfect and the rooftop patio was icing on the cake. We walked to our favorite spots and had room for secure parking for both vehicles. We will book this property when we return!!

Perfect!

We had 5 adults in our party and stayed for the Savannah Banana game. The location was perfect, we were able to walk downtown and to Prinicipal Park! Everything was secure, ample street parking, bedrooms and baths clean and comfortable but the star of the show was the rooftop deck!!! Communication was excellent, would stay again

Little slice of heaven

This was our first stay in a condo and holly certainly set the bar high! It was one of the most beautifully decorated homes we have ever stayed in. We loved being so close to everything… the city view was gorgeous which made the rooftop terrace my favorite spot.

Why they chose this property

The urban location is amazing! The Loft has such a great feel with it’s high ceilings, hardwood floors and open kitchen/dining. The Living room boasts a contemporary recessed electric fireplace all open to the lovely white kitchen with stainless appliances and marble countertops. There is a powder room on the main floor.

Second floor has a spacious master suite with a king bed. Relax on the loveseat looking out the large windows framing the view. The master bath is awesome with it’s huge tiled steam shower and double vanity! There are two additional bedrooms on this level with another full bath. My favorite part is the fully furnished rooftop patio viewing the Des Moines skyline. It has a wet bar with a wine refrigerator for convenience before entering the patio. This contemporary Loft constructed in 2018 is a true gem!
