    We liked the location of the VRBO. It was walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants. The hosts were great at communicating and responded quickly if we had a question. The place did have a bit of a cleaning solution smell the whole time we were there, like pine sol. Plus the beds, couch, chairs were not very comfotable. We were excited to come home to our own beds.

    A fine place for a couple. We had to work to find the new wifi set up but host was helpful in that mix up on our part, the signs still referenced the older set up. Neighborhood was nice and easy to find restaurants nearby. Walkable. We personally would like more comfortable living room seats to lounge around but I understand the look of the decor is a part of the charm. We will likely not be back to the area but would stay again if it was available.

    Our family of four (mom, daughter, grandma, grandpa) had a wonderful 4-night stay at the Cartier apartment. The location was just right us: close to the river, the capitol building, and downtown. Having a parking space included was fantastic. Check-in was easy and communication with hosts was excellent. We appreciated having the balcony for having our morning coffee and watching fireworks on the 4th and the sunsets each evening. We recommend!v

    Great location, great deck & set-up. 2 baths a plus. Decor & glam cute & fun (guys meh about) gals loved the glitz. Furniture too, especially chairs, cute yet not conducive to comfort of 6' plus 200 lb men. Parking was issue with 2 out of state cars & 1 parking pass. Street parking metered & garage expensive on too of daily rate. Seems you could foot for 2 passes even if dont use for every guest. We did 1 night street & worked out a deal with tow truck people for 2nd night. Obliged the No shoes policy but not comfortably & rolled up the fur rugs so wouldnt get walked on! Had a great time with family & that was our goal. Oh, i left a note to clean exhaust fan vents in bathrooms - they were in great need. Everything else tip top.

The Capital, the Botanical Gardens, Fresko, Noce, shops and so much more!! All walking distance. The place is as advertised! Great vibe! Fun place to relax and hang.We’ll be back for sure! We live in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, and Des Moines had plenty to do that was amazing! P.S. The owners of the property were great!
