Unbeatable.

This property is fantastic. It is very updated, with all the amenities you'd hope to have. The location is literally steps away from the Drake University campus and the Drake Diner. The furnishings and beds are super comfortable and convenient. And the manager was very accommodating and responsive to our needs! I seriously doubt you can find a better option!

Great spot for family weekend

We stayed here with another family for the YMCA Regionals swim meet. The place was central and big enough for our two families (4 parents and 3 kids). Much better than a hotel and close to everything!

Very clean and comfortable home located in a great area of Des Moines. Plenty of room for the 4 of us! Kitchen was perfectly stocked! Loved the front porch!!

Great house next to Drake University

This beautiful house is a couple blocks from Drake University. There are many places to eat that are within walking distance. We did not rent a car and only needed transportation from the airport. It was a great place for our family to visit with our son who attends Drake. We would definitely rent this house again.

Clean and comfortable house in a great location

The house looked nicer than the photos. We appreciated the comfortable furniture and nice bedding and towels. This house had lots of the little touches that other rentals skimp on, like k-cups for the coffee maker, enough dishes and towels, soap and shampoo, etc. Everything was spotless, fresh, and clean. My parents have difficulty walking and the house layout worked out well for them since there is a bedroom and full bathroom on the main floor. We were able to park close to the house and there are only a few steps outside they needed to navigate. I had screwed up on my reservation and the owner was very kind and accommodating about it. (Thank you again!) Would definitely stay here again and recommend if you have a family or group visiting Drake.
