Cozy 2 Bed Apt|Min->Hospitals
Great place to stay. My family and I felt right at home in this cozy apartment in the prime part of Des Moines. You will love the comfort and convenience of this place as if you live here! I hope to book again the next time we are in town!

Kasa | Family 2BD, Iowa Events Center | Des Moines
Although a very short stay with just one night, we really enjoyed our stay at Kasa. The location was perfect and check in/check out process was so easy. Enjoyed watching the traffic zoom by and the church across the street was a great view. Would definitely recommend staying at this location if you don't mind traffic and keep in mind the noise level was kept down by very good noise cancelling windows.

Great stay! No issues at all.

Private Garage | Huge Gym | First Floor | Wifi
Loved this place! Very clean, bed was super comfortable, it was the perfect place to stay after having been on the road for 11 hours! We were just using the place for the evening so can't comment on the surroundings and location per se but this place was a fabulous for a little R&R from long days on the road. Would definitely stay here again!

'Moving’ on Up' in Kee Town Loop
Lisa’s place is beautiful! It was well cleaned and matched the description and photos 100%. Our family has been renting Airbnb for a little while now and my wife and I were just saying on the way home that this was probably the best one we have stayed yet to date. We have family in the area, so I am sure we will be looking to stay again!

Clean- 2 bedroom - 2 Bath Condo-

Great stay! The space was comfortable, clean, and exactly what I needed for my work trip. My dog also loved it, which was a big plus. Would definitely stay again!

Joshua's Northland Bungalow
Two of us in town for a memorial service and gathering of friends. The place was great-perfect size-two bedrooms worked for us perfectly-cute place. Minor point is a bathroom typical of these little homes, with a toilet literally right next to the tub/shower with only an inch or two to spare on the sides-made for some interesting "negotiating!" But as I said, this is minor. Shower great! Located in a great neighborhood, peaceful, safe to walk, close to a mall and restaurants etc. Be aware there is a basement tenant- took us by surprise but that was because we didn't read the description fully! They were super quiet and we barely knew anyone else was there. Their apartment is separate from the unit. Definitely recommend the place and Josh was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great front porch for sitting and watching the world, lots of windows, good linens and towels, extra blankets, easy on street parking., Keurig, so very quiet-we would rent again in a heartbeat....

Cottage Grove #2 cozy remodeled
This was a great home away from home while we visited our daughter who lives just minutes away. The place was clean, attractive, and comfortable, and we appreciated the off-street parking. Ryan was very friendly and a great host. We will definitely visit again!

Felicitous Spacious Clean Jordan Creek Perks
This was a great West Des Moines location. It was in a quiet residential neighborhood. The unit was very spacious and comfortable. It was absolutely pristine! The host did a great job communicating. We really enjoyed our visit and would love to stay here again on our next visit!

The Hills Hideaway | Private Entry | Near Downtown
Nicole’s place was better than the pictures indicated. Very cute decor, exceptionally comfortable, and the easiest unloading we’ve ever experienced in an Airbnb! Couch and bed were also VERY comfortable! The location was very convenient for all that we wanted to do during our weekend. Highly recommend this spot, and we will definitely go back. So glad we found it (and we bet you will be too)

Sleepover | Rare 1BD/1BA - Downtown Des Moines
Very nice building with secured access. In a bit of a revitalization neighborhood with some mix of updated buildings and businesses. Mild construction sites & sounds.

Urban Oasis with Hot tub and Gym | Location!
Jake's place was pristine clean, spacious, and has everything we needed. Hot tub was very good condition looked like a new model and super clean as well. Zen surroundings very peaceful and relaxing. Host quickly responds & space is Updated, cute, comfortable. I would recommend this B&B.

Sleepover | Private 1BD/1BA - Downtown Des Moines
Great location, quiet neighborhood, walkable to Downtown Des Moines. We would stay here again.

Cozy cottage in the woods
This is the ideal spot for a weekend escape. It was exactly what my wife and I needed to unwind and recharge from our hectic lives. The location is incredibly private, peaceful, and nestled within serene, secluded woodlands. Kathleen was excellent at communicating and tailored our stay to make it truly memorable. This place represents the standard that other Airbnbs aim for. The space was immaculate and had everything we needed—and more. We will be back.
