Really cool place

The unit was very clean and classy. I love having a washer/dryer. Bathrooms were nice. Loved the close proximity to good places to eat and also the easy and free parking! We parked right outside the door and that was a blessing because it was so cold outside!!

Visiting Iowa

We added Iowa as our 49th state visited, with friends from Iowa as our guides. Our Des Moines location was perfect. Close to downtown and the beautiful capitol building. We spent the evening on the patio, enjoying wine, pizza, conversation, and our city view.
