This home has an antique vibe and is filled with color. Close enough to uber downtown, but the neighborhood itself is quiet and clean. Spacious common areas and kitchen well stocked, but could use a few more/better pans for cooking. It got the job done for our week long stay and we’d stay again.

Super cute place, perfect for what we needed. It’s definitely an older house with a funky layout. The beds were VERY comfortable and blessedly had window AC units in each. The bathroom is very small but functional and stylish. We didn’t have any issues hearing noises from the upper unit. Our dogs also loved it, perfect sized backyard to get some zoomies out. The only downside we experienced was pretty much all of the blinds are broken on the windows. Other than that, it was lovely!

The property is extraordinarily charming and was perfect for a short family visit in mid/late September. It's close to Bayview and is generally a good location for having fun in Milwaukee.I'm bookmarking this place for future visits with family and friends.

Fabulous spot and wonderful apartment

This place is fantastic! The beds and pillows are really comfy and they provide lots of thick towels. The apartment is really well decked out and decorated and in such a great position in Bayview with walking access to shops. I highly recommend this apartment.

The place is clean, nicely decorated, and the host was very accommodating letting us drop our bags off before heading out for the day. The only negatives were that there was no shampoo in the shower as noted in the description. Also there were no wash clothes except for the extra large one to dry our hands in the bathroom (which is kind of small for all of the guests to use). The air mattress was very hard to find in the basement. I had to scrounge around for sheets and there was no pillow or blanket designated for that bed so I ended up on the couch and had to be creative and use towels and a few sheets to get comfy. I don't know if I paid extra by having a 5th person, but feel that if I did I should get my share back. Otherwise the location was great and I would stay here again knowing that everything is stocked and easy to find.

Overnight trip for a Brewers Game

My husband and I traveled to Milwaukee for a Brewers game. The house is about 10 min drive from the stadium. We traveled with two dogs and my 6 year old daughter. It’s was a great location, quiet neighborhood, and the house was perfectly sized. Check in and out was a breeze.

Great location to good restaurants. Short distance to South Shore beach and beer garden. Fun family activity. Fenced in back yard and sitting area was nice. My five yr. old was able to play safely outside.We were short on towels for showers. Couldn’t locate them. Floor rugs were stained and smelledof past pets.

Had a great birthday getaway with my girlfriends! Messaged the host to confirm there was an air mattress and because he wasn’t sure of the condition it was in, he ordered a new one from Amazon and it was there when we arrived the next day!! Only complaint would be how much you can hear the upstairs rental unit but other than that, the space has everything you need and lots of fun bars and restaurants walking distance away.

Nice place, but double booked

When we arrived to the home another person was already settled in and scared we were breaking in. Almost got sprayed with mace! Found out the place was booked on 2 different sites.. She was too scared to stay there after that, left for a hotel with friends, and let us stay with our family. We had no number to contact the owner, but he did respond to our message and refunded us 30% off the the nightly rate. The place was nice and functional for all of us. The dining chairs could be fixed, as they are all tippy. Other than that & check in, we enjoyed the stay.

Baseball Weekend

Came into Milwaukee for a baseball trip to see the Brewers. Location was great - easy access to plenty of bars and restaurants. Apartment was clean, spacious, and well equipped. If we had better weather, we would have made use of the backyard, fire pit, and bbq.

Why they chose this property

We love this space! We put a lot of blood sweat and tears into renovating this beautiful Bay View duplex. I'm passionate about design and love to host. We designed this space to accommodate relaxing days, getting some work done, good conversations with a cocktail, get-togethers, game nights, and family meals.
