We had a wonderful stay over thanksgiving. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the extra touches like the local coffee and the filtered water.
Everything was perfect! Location was right where we wanted to be smack dab in the main drag of the beautiful uptown Galena. Everything with the stay was wonderful and just as pictures and description stated. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back!!
This was possibly the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed at. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and everything was in pristine condition. We were blow away by all the small details that show this property owner is thinking how to make the best stay possible for her guests. There were so many amenities, like locally sourced hand soaps and toiletries, fully stocked kitchen with anything you would need to cook a delicious meal, complimentary bath salts for the soaker tub. I could go on and on. Joan was also very responsive to any questions I had, which was very much appreciated. The Ulysses Suites were exactly what we were looking for in a weekend get away to Galena. If you are looking for something close to downtown with all splendor of a trendy, luxury apartment, you really must book this space!
This place is absolutely perfect! Stayed in suite 203. The place is staged like a model apartment fully equipped with the most quality products and decor. This remodel is stunning and location could NOT be any better…center of Main Street strip. Most importantly (for me at least) this space was immaculate! Super clean and comfortable! We will be back soon!
