Comfy Cozy Private Room “B”

JacobRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Jason is a great host, quick to respond, and very friendly! He has thought of everything and the shared house is one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. The other guests when I was there were great also which helps. But the WiFi was fast and worked great for remote working, everything was very clean, and overall a quiet, great experience. One thing to note is the room is upstairs so it can get pretty warm in the summer. But Jason was more than happy to keep the temperature low enough at night so I could be comfortable enough. This was much appreciated If im ever back in Des Moines, I’ll absolutely look for Jason’s listing first!

Des Moines Private Room, Bath near Downtown, Drake

ChrisRating, 5 stars10 months ago

Spotless room, bathroom, and home. Instructions were detailed and specific, which I appreciated. Room was easy to find based on description. I liked having a bathroom to myself. Instructions were provided for how to use the lamps, WiFi, location of usb/plugs. Friendly host; I appreciated being able to park in the driveway instead of on the street, but still, it’s a dead end in a quiet neighborhood so I would have been fine with on street parking too.
