College Hill offers one of the most convenient locations for attending major events in downtown Des Moines. The community is connected to the quiet Mercy College campus while remaining only about a five-minute walk from Casey’s Center and the Iowa Events Center.

This location is especially convenient for:
* Concert and comedy-show guests

Downtown dining, nightlife, breweries, shopping, Court Avenue, and the East Village are also a short drive or rideshare away. The neighborhood provides a great balance: close enough to enjoy downtown Des Moines but removed from the late-night noise of the busiest entertainment districts.

The place was close to what we needed! Having 2 bedrooms and 2 baths is so great. The only downside was it was a tad warm and it was lacking a few “extras” like bath towels and kitchen supplies. We were there for a short time so made due. Will definitely look to rebook!

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was also good and the view was nice. We had not expected to be in a college dorm. As an older couple, this felt a little weird, but it was super quiet over the weekend, and we couldn't hear any street noise. There were some minor issues: The floors were smooth, but they had an unfished look that created a cold atmosphere. There were three thermostats but we could not adjust the temperature on any of them; all we could do was turn the air on or off. Overall, though, it was a good stay.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
Location is great. The room appears to be in a dorm apartment which was a liitle strange for a rental. The beds and towels left much to be desired. Beds were very uncomfortable and towels were worn/mismatched. We noticed it wasn't throughly cleaned when we arrived. They offered to come re- clean it asap but we declined and they offered a late check out which was very appreciated. Host was very communicative.
