The location was great. A tooth flossers pic was left on the nightstand and dirty dishes on the dishwasher. Nothing major….

Kasa Des Moines

This was a great experience. Only thing that would make this place 5 star is having parking included. That wasn’t clear in the listing when we booked but wasn’t an issue. There were several meter spots all around the building. Furthest we had to park during our stay was 1 block away. Check in/out procedures were excellent. No issues with access codes or keyless entry. Property itself was very well taken care of. It was clean and well stocked with all the amenities promised in the listing. Property is 15 mins from everything. Super convenient location. Adventureland/WalMart/Farmers Market/etc all very close. Area around the property is a typical downtown area as in most cities. There’s was never a time that safety was a concern. Stayed here with my 12 year old daughter and would have no issues doing it again.

Great Stay in convenient location!

We stayed in this apartment for four nights and our stay was great! We were convenient to everything! Parking right outside was rather easy - especially on nights and weekends.

Comfortable

The beds are soooo comfortable. It has more of a studio feel as the walls do not go all the way to the ceiling so you can hear everything. In walking distance to everything downtown.

Nice place & location was good for downtown activities

Nice, clean, close to downtown activities. Codes for door accesscould have been more clear. One of the key fobs didn't work but wasn't a big deal. Would stay there again.

Nice enough place

Well kept, the (2) bedrooms are smaller than they appear, smaller living and kitchen space then they appear. Location is centralized but not a lot around it, longer walk, Uber, or drive to most things.

Perfect property for our purposes

Nicely appointed place. Comfy beds, everything we needed for a couple nights while apartment hunting with my son. Very clean and seemed to be recently updated. The open exposed ceilings were stylish but allowed for zero privacy. You could hear the tv and any conversation (and ambulances— very close to the hospital) in all the rooms because of it. Also had a problem with the thermostat. It was stuck at 77 degrees no matter what we did. Mel and the Kasa staff were very responsive whenever I contacted them. Unfortunately they weren’t able to fix this problem before we checked out. It was much cooler outside the second night so we were more comfortable regardless. Really terrific hosts. Kept us fully informed and promptly responded every time I contacted them. I would highly recommend this property.
