We loved this unit! It has high ceilings, a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a relaxing living room that opens to a huge balcony with a gas grillâperfect for people-watching. The location is ideal for walking around downtown Des Moines, with great restaurants, bars, and nightclubs all nearby. Communication with the host was great too. The Saturday Farmers Market is just a short walk away and an absolute must-do, as is a visit to the historic Courthouse.The only downside is that the property sits on a busy street directly across from a popular music venue. When thereâs a concert or DJ event, the noise level can be quite high and hard to escape.
