BeckyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a great 3-day sisters’ getaway at Dan’s loft in Des Moines this week. The apartment was clean, smelled great, and the beds were so comfortable. We appreciated Dan’s flexibility with our early arrival and fast pickup when we had an elevator question.. The location of Dan’s loft was great. Friendly residents in the building recommended the best places to eat. They were usually a 5-10 minute walk away. All-in-all, a great trip. WE’LL BE BACK!

Fantastic Safe w/Amenities 2.5 Bath Private Garage

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had such an amazing stay! Super easy to find and in a great location. Close to Jordan Creek Mall and restaurants. Check in was super easy. They do leave the door unlocked prior to your check in. I do wish they had a keypad entry as that was a little strange but understandable. Unit was extremely clean. We have family that live right in this area and plan to stay here again in the future when we visit. Unit itself is roomy. Two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and a separate half bath in the living room which was amazing! Very homey overall and the host was very quick to respond.
