This suite is very quaint and is located within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable for anyone looking for a private and relaxing place to unwind. It was easy to book and the host answered all my questions and provided us with all pertinent information. We had a great time.

Galena

This property was clean and the location was perfect, just steps from downtown Galena. It's a bit small, but we knew that when we rented it and it was great for a few nights. There was enough to do in Galena that we were only in the room to sleep. We would stay here again!

Cute studio apartment close to downtown

My spouse and I stayed at Michael's place for a recent weekend trip to Galena. Communication with Michael was timely and clear. The apartment was cute and close to downtown. It's a small space (accurate as advertised), so just be prepared for that!

Very clean property. Small quarters, but everything we needed inside the apartment was there. Easy check in. I was expecting a view of Main Street from the pictures included in the listing. I did understand the entrance in the back from the listing. Parking was a little tricky to find.

Great stay walking distance to so much

The apartment is amazing. It was perfect for me and my husband. The apartment was clean and well appointed. It was also an easy walk to historic downtown and shopping. If you don’t mind walking, you can also easily walk to grant park, grant house, and up the hill to view historic buildings. The host was communicative and quick to respond to our questions. I would highly recommend!

Perfect Location!

The location was amazing in the heart of downtown Galena. Walkable to shops, restaurants, museums and historical sites. The studio apartment was very clean and well equipped for a comfortable stay. The host really thought of everything small fridge with freezer, microwave, dinnerware and silverware, nice towels and bedding. There is a walk-in closet so luggage does not crowd the room. We visited the last weekend of April for our anniversary and to see a civil war reenactment. We had a great time and would recommend Balandine Suites.

Cute little space to rest after all the fun shopping and dining downtown! Very clean and had everything we needed. The stairs were a bit tight and steep going up to the 2nd floor but manageable. I would not recommend the stairs for the elderly or anyone having stability issues when it comes to balance. The shower was adequate but again it was tiny. It reminded me of showering in a camper due to the smallness. With that being said, the bathroom was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Great space but for the right guests.
