Just a quick note regarding pets 🐾 — they can be accommodated upon request, but please let us know in advance so we can submit an approval request to the homeowner/building management.

If approved, a pet fee applies to help cover additional cleaning:

• $50 per pet (stays under 7 nights)
• $75 per pet (stays under 15 nights)
• $100 per pet (stays 16–30 nights)

This is a one-time fee per pet and goes toward our deep cleaning service after check-out.

A few pet guidelines to help ensure a smooth stay:

1. Please clean up after your pet, including any messes in outdoor areas.
2. For safety and comfort, pets must be crated when left unattended in the unit.

Additionally, a refundable $250 security deposit will be collected and returned after check-out, provided there are no damages.

Thank you for your understanding — we look forward to hosting you (and your pet)!

DO NOT STAY HERE

The pictures the host posted of the property are deceiving. This rental is not “charming”, it’s very very old & not well-cared of; the stairs to the property in the back (which is the way you are instructed to enter) are treacherous. There isn’t lighting outside to maneuver the stairs and I’m sure they aren’t up to code. You’re met with a hanging chain that hits you in the head upon opening the back entry way door. The main floor toilet had been used and was not clean. There were bugs throughout the property. This rental is a duplex, but the walls between the units are paper thin; we could hear the entire conversations from the neighbors next door. The stairs to the higher floors were damaged, with the carpet runner detached from the stairs causing you to slip immediately. We contacted the host who could have cared less about the experience. Only offering to have the cleaners clean the toilet (after asking for a proof-picture first). Don’t be fooled by the listing and find somewhere else to stay in Des Moines.
