This is a 1 bedroom apartment within a large house near the Drake campus. Large bedroom with a very comfy bed. My son slept on the sofa and said it was comfortable. Bathroom and kitchen are quite small. Overall, works well for a 1 night stay.

Nice property in a central location. Ryan, our host, was very kind and helpful, he provided our check-in instructions on time and replied very quickly when we needed his help during the stay. Some small improvement can be done to the kitchen to make it even better. I can recommend the property for any traveler coming to Des Moines.
