About this property

Historic District, Downtown

West Boulevard is Rapid City's most historic and architecturally eclectic neighborhood. Clean, quiet, safe, convenient, and comfortable...all the things you're looking for! You’ll be walking distance from downtown, and a short drive to all the Black Hills has to offer. I am born and raised in the Black Hills so I know all the good spots to eat, hike, bike, or whatever you're after here on your vacation.

This was my second stay here for state AAU wrestling. It was a prefect home away from home while not at the monument for wrestling.

Great Stay!!

Stayed for several days to enjoy all of the parks and sights in the area and loved everything. The apartment was super cozy, clean, comfortable beds, updated furnishings, was a very nice place to stay for a few days. Great location near downtown in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance for some to shops and restaurants, but a short drive for most. Excellent stay, would definitely stay here again!

Great stay and highly recommended

Joe was a fantastic host - prompt in his communication and gave us great recommendations. We only stayed for the night, but we had a good night's sleep before continuing on to the Badlands and driving home to Rhode Island. His place was clean and comfortable, and would recommend.

Cute, cozy and conveniently licated

Cozy place to stay in Rapid city. Close to tge area attractions like Custer, Mount Rushmore and Keystone. The listing indicates sleeps 5, but the couch had no additional blankets or sheets. Overall it was a great spot for our family trip.

Great place!

This apartment worked well for our family after a day of sight seeing. The neighborhood was quiet and close to downtown and the interstate, and the apartment was clean with a modern laundry room that was a great convenience! One critique is that the shower drained incredibly slow.

Great spot for family of 4

Clean apartment and easy check in. We had my elderly mother with us so we probably wouldn’t stay again because of the stairs but fine otherwise for people without mobility issues. To host: We wish there had been another chair and an end tables on both sides of bed.

Cozy stay in Rapid City

Joe was a great host who was very timely with his communication and kind to offer suggestions about the area. The space is exactly as pictured. A cozy, well appointed unit in a multi family home, with comfy beds and all your basic necessities. The apartment was clean, quiet and located in a lovely neighborhood just off West Blvd. The neighborhood was beautiful, safe, and a short walk to downtown. If you’re visiting Rapid City, Rushmore or any of the surrounding area this is a great place to stay and we would definitely stay here again!

Place was good but thin walls made it noisy

The unit was clean, communication with the host was excellent, checkin was easy. We used the laundry facilities which were great. Not the fault of the host at all but the walls are paper thin and we were woken up several times both nights with a nearby train, conversations from surrounding units, and one ... intimate session. It felt like we were back in college. We also have kids, which we felt like we had to try to keep extra quiet knowing they could likely hear everything as well.
