We planned a spur of the moment trip, found this house easily on the Vernon app. . It was easy to find when we arrived in Des Moines, centrally located, in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The host, Christina, kept communication easy and in a timely manner! The house was set up in a way we felt at home while we stayed there.
