The stairs are extremely steep, so if mobility is at all an issue this is not the spot for you. The place itself was as advertised and worked perfectly for us. You can even see the lake from the window.

Great property

Great property, close to the waterfront and right in the heart of downtown. Good restraunts nearby! Much quieter than staying in downtown MKE and a 40 min drive to do the things we wanted to do in MKE.

Such a lovely modern and clean property walkable to restaurants, pharmacy, gelato, and bakeries. On a busy Main Street however does not take a way from a quiet and peaceful nights rest as the bedroom is not street facing. Owner very responsive and has literally thought of everything her guests may need. Notepad and pen included. If you are looking for a contemporary spot where you have a mix of city living yet peaceful vibes then you should consider this space. You will not be disappointed!

Perfect spot for a getaway!

We really enjoyed the location to fun shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the Ivanhoe Irish Pub. Angela answered any questions we had and gave us some great tips for things to do in the area! The space is newer, nicely decorated, and very clean! There was a long flight of stairs to reach the home, but well worth it!!

Great Stay!

I had a fantastic Labor Day weekend at the graduate on Main Street and Racine . The modern cozy apartment was just a short walk from North Beach making it an ideal spot for Lakeside retreat. The queen size bed and smart TV were perfect for unwinding in the full bath and laundry facilities added extra convenience. The keyless entry made everything hasslefree the host’s Communication was exceptional, responsive and helpful throughout my stay highly recommend for a memorable stay with top-notch hospitality.
