Conscientious Hosts/Clean Property
VRBO 6212 Boston Ave We booked this property after checking several pet friendly properties in Des Moines. We have a cat, and pet friendly does not always mean cat friendly. We always check if a cat is allowed. The hosts for 6212 Boston Avenue were very responsive to our inquiries which is always a good sign for us. There are two hosts that manage the property, and we found both to be very professional, helpful, funny, and responsive. The home is as advertised, clean and uncluttered. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen along with a pantry. It is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, pans, etc. The knives were dull and hard to use. Dishwasher works great. Plenty of cleaning supplies under the sink. The mirrored medicine cabinet is nice for storage. There are lots of closets with hangers. The linen closet is well stocked with towels, toilet paper, and games. Beware the hole in the floor for the Wifi router cables if you have a curious kitty. Luckily the door latches securely. Some suggestions: Sharpen the knives Secure bathroom rug; it slides around Add a dry mop for the vinyl plank floors (There is a broom in the pantry.)

I am attached at the hip to my beautiful partner Sage Honga of 8 years and counting - and as of recently we have the most beautiful daughter who was born on June 3rd, 2020 right here in Scottsdale.
