8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at this home in Des Moines! There were 8 of us; 4 adults and 4 children ages 2, 4, 8, and 12. There was a pack N play onsite, which was so helpful! My family stayed in the upstairs room, which had a king bed and a futon. There was no real bedding on the futon, which was kind of annoying. Thankfully, I always bring car blankets for my kids on any kind of overnight trip, so they at least had those. We didn't find the extra blankets until the next day. The kitchen, living rooms and bathrooms were all very nice! There is a little playset on the property that was nice to have too. It's better for kids over age 3-4, but my 2yo still had fun on it. There was plenty of seating for everyone inside, and the deck was really nice too! There were a TON of toys for the kids! No complaints on the main floor bedrooms :) My only small complaint about this home is that some areas hadn't been cleaned in a VERY long time. I messaged the owner after checkout, so he is aware. I have faith that he will get them cleaned up. Some areas were really dusty and full of cobwebs. I don't expect an outdoor grilling area to be spotless, but I do expect it to be wiped down and cleared of cobwebs. And the grill's charcoal ash tray to be emptied, or only have light use; not for it to be overflowing. I do wish there was onsite laundry. That was my mistake for not noticing it wasn't available. Families with small children (and sweaty men!) really need to have that option. IYKYK"

"Our entire team stayed here this past week for the AAU Jr. Olympics Breaking events. This house was perfect for the kids to practice and bond before the games started and ended up being the ultimate place to celebrate when they came back with their medals. Luis was an awesome host, readily available to answer all questions and so accommodating with our requests. The spacious backyard, garage, and movie theater room was perfect for our kids while the remaining living rooms and kitchen were great spaces for parents to catch up and rest before the big competitions. This home housed the school gold medalist team AND the Division 1 and Division 2 individual gold medalists!"
