A very nice stay in a great location. Apartment is very cute, comfortable, and well appointed. Only complaint is that we picked the location to be close to the NewBo Market, not realizing it wasn’t open on Tuesdays, our only day in town!

Such a nice place to stay so close to Newbo Market. It was great to walk to dinner and be so close to a walking path as well. Lots of room and had everything I needed for my one person, four night stay. Close to Kirkwood which was great. Owner was so kind and checked in during my stay. Great communication.

The unit is clean and comfortable and there is plenty of convenient parking. The host was immediately available when we had a question. We used the kitchen every morning for breakfast. Our visit was to attend an event at the National Czech Museum and Library which is only minutes away. We plan to stay here again whenever we are in town.

I really appreciated this clean quiet apartment where everything was functioning properly. The only thing to be aware of is that it is on the second floor and has an outside entrance. Going up and down the stairs was good for me, but may not be for everyone.

Ideal location, close to restaurants, coffee shops, walking trails and downtown. Communication with host was excellent and small issues were addressed quickly. Some coat hangers and wash cloths would have been appreciated, but those are minor details. We had a great time and would stay again if visiting the area.

Upon arrival the front door code did not work, the back up key was not in the back up key box and the process to fix this avoidable issue was frustrating. Check in took over 20 minutes texting, calling, etc trying to connect with the host who apparently lives out of state. Everything else worked well.

We had a great experience! We especially appreciated the washer and dryer. Many places we’ve stayed have only enough supplies for the time you’re there (I.e two garbage bags, two dish pods, etc.) but there were plenty of supplies to get us through. The only thing I wish I knew going in was that the kitchen didn’t have things like a sheet pan or measuring cup which required us to get creative with some of our cooking. Other than that, I cannot say enough good things about our stay!

I am a picky person when it comes to cleanliness, and this place passed the test! Very clean. Pros: Cleanliness, location, easy parking, A/C was great, and it was spacious for 5 people. Cons: Kitchen is not well-stocked, pets can not be left unattended and you don't know that until you get the check-in information the day of, and blinds were broken in the bedroom and on the front door so you couldn't close them at all (that's a problem when people are changing in bedrooms) I would suggest the owners add that pets can not be left unattended in the listing info. Furniture is worn and cheap, but that didn't matter too much to me because the beds/mattresses were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. We ate a few times at the Newbo Market and Kismet Coffee shop - so close and easy to access!

We enjoyed our stay and the location of the property. The hosts have a helpful manual for the property- I recommend looking at it for their recommendations. We tried the Full Bowl, walking distance from the property and it was wonderful! There are several museums in the area that we would recommend visiting. Kismet coffee shop was great. There is hiking not too far away for outdoor people. We visited Indian Creek Nature Center and recommend it for all ages. We enjoyed the space of the property and the hosts were very responsive of our questions. The hosts also had clear instructions for check in and check out. We would stay there again.
The space was clean and tastefully decorated. Very welcoming. The property has stairs to access the property. The owners have another property attached that appeared to be accessible if your group needs that.
Kids (11&18) enjoyed playing this retro game.
A yummy place walking distance. Vegan and gluten free-unless noted by menu
A 10-15 walk from the property. There is also an Africa American museum VERY CLOSE to the property that is highly rated, we ran out of time but would recommend going, we would have if we could have!
