The condo had so much square footage and it was decorated to the period. All of the furniture was extremely comfortable . It was so conveniently located right downtown. We'd go shopping, go back to the condo to drop off our things and then head out to dinner. Highly recommend!

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The host shared check-in and parking information in advance of our visit. The apartment was larger than expected and very close to restaurants and shopping.

This lovely 2 bedroom apartment is centrally located and very comfortable. The kitchen is decently equipped and the beds are comfortable. It is an easy walk to grab a morning coffee, shop or dine. Michael responds quickly and greeted us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

This is a great location to stay if you are in Galena. We were able to look out the window and see the downtown area but did not hear the noise. The layout of the place is unique and we loved it. We would definitely rent this place again.

Great Girls Weekend

Loved our stay here. The location was perfect for all that Galena had to offer with shopping and the County Fair. The property was clean and very well stocked with supplies. The host was easy to communicate with and sent me a message with an early check in time which was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location

Very clean. Loved the art around the apartment. I stayed during 4th of July weekend. The Galena fireworks display was visible through the window facing the park. We all enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

The unit was very nice, close to everything we wanted to do. Plenty of space, very clean. The only complaint was the parking. Could not park anywhere near the unit.

Girls Trip

We loved the condo. It was nicely decorated, clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. It is 1 block off main street, close to everything we needed for a weekend stay. There are a lot of steps to get up to the street from main st. But we didnt mind it. The owner is very responsive. We would stay here again.

Quirky, cute place in the middle of it all!

Great location near the Green St stairs so accessible to coffee, restaurants, shops, the Green St stairs (!!). Comfy and cozy. Parking is a trick, though. If it's a busy weekend, don't expect to park close to the building. Be prepared to park elsewhere and move the car after the crowds thin out.
