This is a nic location on a main street. You can walk to a few food locations but probably need to drive most times. It's convenient to stores and UWM which was why we stayed there. The home has everything you would need but you can hear the downstairs neighbors at times.

Very nice, clean and comfortable. Neat neighborhood. Walking distance to some nice restaraunts and bars. Easy access to downtown. Beds were very comfortable. Only issue was weak WiFi which the host felt might be due to recent storms in the area.

Great location, very cool mid century modern furniture. It was also a huge bonus to have the private garage space. My only complaint was the combination box to get the keys—it was very difficult to open and I wouldn’t have been able to access it if I didn’t have someone with me who had shorter finger nails.

Reasonably priced MKE stay

We were in town for Summerfest and this location was great, we parked at nearby Shorewood Brat House and shuttled in. The upper flat has a MCM theme and we even enjoyed listening to an album on the working Zenith hi-fi. Comfortable bed, great shower, safety features.

Great location to downtown Milwaukee!

Stayed here for Harley Davidson's 115th celebration. The apartment was very clean and had a 1 car garage, perfect for our 3 motorcycles. Easy access to downtown Milwaukee. Karen was an excellent hostess and answered our questions quickly. Would definitely stay here again!

We are long time landlords who wanted to try something new, so we furnished our very best properties and we enjoy hosting people traveling to our area. We are Milwaukee area natives, and live just a mile from this location. We are here to help, but won't get in your way.

Why they chose this property

I was raised in a similar mid-century era duplex, and it was fun putting it together with furnishings of that period.
