Victorian villa in the heart of Des Moines

KiayaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Wonderful place to stay with a large family! We all felt comfortable and enjoyed the space together. The backyard is a wonderful bonus with dogs. Driving through the neighborhood, you wouldn't expect the privacy you end up experiencing at David's property. Felt safe with the home security options. And David was very proactive with communication, leaving my end of things to be simple. Highly recommend!!
