This condo is a perfect fit for a quiet, relaxing weekend. It is very comfy and cozy The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for cooking a meal, and they even supply soap and shampoo in both bathrooms. The weather wasn’t great to be outside, but the back deck is very peaceful and private even tho it is in a row of condos. I wish I could have spent more time out on the deck! Kristen was very responsive and great to talk to about the property. Would definitely recommend staying here for a visit to Galena!

We enjoyed getting to Galena for a few days after not having been in many years. Such good restaurants downtown now.Communication with Kristen - of the rental property company - was easy and efficient. She's great! There were confusing issues with the router and internet access. We finally figured out the router was likely attached to a light switch because if it wasn't on, we had no router. Kristen commented that their electrician would be looking into the issue.Dislike having to say this, but there was a cleanliness issue in the bathroom and also around the fireplace area. Kristen took good care of us in this situation, too.
