Nice apartment, run down building
We had an interesting stay at this apartment. Let me start with the positives.The central air conditioning worked exceptionally well in the unit. As opposed to the hallways in the building, which were stifling. The location was convenient for our activities at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The view was spectacular as described. The washer and dryer were huge bonus for us, as were the ensuite bathrooms. The decor was tasteful and modern without being too stuffy. The big screen televisions in each room were really nice, and we enjoyed the blackout shades for sleeping in. The mattresses were comfortable.Now for the constructive criticism. And please know we feel like most of the things we disliked were not the fault of the host, Jesse, but rather the sad state of the apartment building. The elevator only seemed to work about half to 60 percent of the time we were there. Yes, we knew we rented a pent house, but it was implied there were elevators. My two kids, elderly mother in law and myself, a 3 year brain cancer survivor, walked up and down eleven flights of stairs with luggage multiple times during our week long stay. The wall ac unit in the king bedroom was loud and also not very effective. When asked about it, Jesse stated he knew it made noise, and offered to send maintenance, but we declined.Appreciated the fact we weren't required to do any kind of deep cleaning in order to check out. That was extremely convenient eslecially with an early morning flight!
