The location is fantastic, right in the heart of downtown, with easy access to restaurants, bars, shopping, and bike paths. However, the bathtub has a very slow drain and made for a not so pleasant nor relaxing experience. The general cleanliness was okay, but it definitely needs some attention. Regular maintenance would go a long way. Internet access was spotty a few times, but it was generally a good connection. The response time was a bit slow from the host. Check-in and check-out were straightforward and simple.

Cute and Perfect Location

The apartment was really cute and had everything we needed. Loved having an off street parking spot that showed us to walk to the main drag. Also, we traveled before/after and having a washer/dryer (w/detergent!) was super awesome. Would definitely stay again if back in TC.

Great rental in town

Good apartment in town. Close to lots of wonderful restaurants, bars, shops. Perfect accommodation with another couple, 2 good size bedrooms, kitchen with all basics, and more. As previous mentioned steep flight of stairs for entry, each bedroom has own A/c unit. Would absolutely stay again. Clean. Safe. Good location.

Lovely apartment in stellar location!

My husband and I stayed in this apartment for 5 nights with our 1 year old daughter and a friend. The location was so nice, a quick scenic walk by the river to Front street and downtown/the beach. It feels tucked away from the liveliness of Front street and is quiet and residential even though it’s so close. It was tidy, clean and the bedrooms and bathroom are spacious. The host was very friendly and communicative and helpful! I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for all of these attributes.

Good location, easy parking and walking distance to Front Street.

The location was very good. It had easy parking and was in walking distance to Front Street. This is an upstairs apartment, and the steps are quite steep. Bedrooms had wall air-conditioning units which worked great, but the living space was quite warm. Thank goodness for the fans in each room.

Sweet comfy little apartment in a great area!

We enjoyed our stay in Traverse City. We walked from the apartment through beautiful neighborhoods and even to the bay. We had everything we needed in our little apartment. We loved the Master Bed! Because the apartment is an older building, probably the only draw back for some would be the 18 steep steps from the parking lot up to the apartment with luggage. It was great exercise for us! 😊
