Sweet place to wake up and go walk around

This was a great place. It checked all of the boxes and then some. It’s very clean! And the host has excellent communication. I would stay here again. Parking is great during the day. You have to move it though for the overnight hours. It’s available behind the buildings. So, there’s a little bit of a walk. Worth it though!

Great place to stay near Des Moines!

This place is so cute and comfy! I stayed for one night as I was visiting my son who goes to Drake University and it was only a 10 minute drive away. The loft is in an historic neighborhood with little antique shops and a really great restaurant across the street for breakfast- Mitzi’s. I will definitely stay hear again next time I come to Des Moines!
