    The property is really quaint and well maintained. Very convenient for us as we had day trips outside of Des Moines to visit family and friends. The wood floors were amazing.

    For a 5 night stay, the VRBO lacked Dishwashing soap, no Kleenex, and clothes soap. We did get about 5 Keurig cups. Was disappointed that we needed to buy insurance for breakage that cost an additional $90. As the place was small the cleaning fee should have more than covered the cost to have the place cleaned with no left over dead bugs, dust and dirt. The house behind the property has a rooster that crowed all day. It was like having a neighbor whose dog never quit barking. The owner was worried about scratching his floors but did not mention how uneven they were. The numerous levels were a serious trip hazard. People buy roller bags so they can roll them around. I see where the floors were a little too fragile for this. Just not a comfortable stay.

    The Carol Anne was a perfect place to stay. I was a solo traveler, however, this 1st floor home would be very comfortable for up to 4 persons. Very clean & had all the conveniences of home including washer/dryer. If the weather was a bit more pleasant, it would be nice to sit on the porch. If I come back to Des Moines, I will see if The Carol Anne would be available again.

    What a cozy home. We had everything we needed. It was clean, had a fully stocked kitchen with a gas range and a full size fridge, washer, and dryer. Everything was laid out in a nice book with full instructions. It was great. Not sure if I missed it at booking but this is a duplex type of home we were down stairs and it was lodging upstairs we only shared a nice wraparound type porch. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book it again.
