Only downside is the stairs to get into the property. Also the floors are a bit unlevel, but the property is all updated and very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect space in the middle of town with walkability to the docks, churches and eateries.
This property is in a good location. I stayed for the 4th of july celebrations and fireworks, visiting my daughter. I enjoyed my self and the stay, the space was more than i needed for one person. Very clean and well kept. Pillows and beding were good, i slept well
This apartment is in great shape & located in the heart of Munising. It’s nice to be able to park the car after a long journey and walk to many bars & restaurants. The stairs to the deck & entrance were no problem for my wife & I. We enjoyed the deck during our stay as the MI climate can be very nice in summer months.

Great location. It's in walking distance of restaurants, grocery store and the city attractions. The place was clean and the appliances worked.
This place was just what we needed. Super clean and comfortable. Kitchen was perfect, with full-size appliances. Plenty of comfortable sitting areas in separate rooms from the bed. Nice little desk area too. You can walk to many of the restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
Such a beautiful area! Highly recommend a tour with Pictured Rocks Kayaking. Pros: Very clean and well maintained. Comfortable bed. Loved the full kitchen. Conveniently located within walking distance to marina and restaurants. Cons: Overlooked the Family Dollar parking lot and was a bit noisy in the area. Motion activated night light was disruptive to my sleep.

Nicely renovated upper studio. Deck stairs to balcony are a bit rough, so watch your hands. Street light from business parking a bit annoying when trying to sleep. Kitchen had all the basics available for use. Great place to use as a "home" base and advenure out around the middle of the penninsula. I would stay again!
Very Charming studio layout. Clean, Fresh, Friendly. Great location.Only had an issue with wifi @ 20% in unit. Would stay again, colors at 20%. But weather was 80 and water was calm.
Nice place but floors were very slanted. Made it hard sometimes to walk, especially when you get up in middle of night. makes you feel off balance.Also only one exit made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Location of apt was great but it smelled like smoke, there was no bathroom fan, and the floors were uneven.
The loft apartment was right downtown, across from the Pictured Rocks boat tour. Park your car and walk to everything! Apt has its own parking spot. Apartment was very clean, however it had a slight cigarette smell when we walked in. Floor slants to the right. One side of the bed was lopsided. In the middle of the night I noticed something flashing on the wall everytime I moved. I thought a camera was watching us. My husband said it was some kind of a nest smoke detector.

Clean and all updated apartment setting. Central location and could walk to everything that we needed (waterfront, restaurants, breweries). Convenient to have a dedicated parking spot. Would definitely come back.

Great location in the middle of Munising. It is in the middle of town, but is a very quiet location off of the main streets. King bed was comfortable and the entire place was spotless. We will definitely look for this property on our next visit. Owners were responsive and friendly.

We had a very enjoyable stay in the Barbie &n Ken Studio. The direction for locating the property were helpful since you access it from behind. The newly remodeled apartment was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and comfortable. The location was great for the activities we had planned in Munising.
