Great space for a quick weekend

Had 5 couples meet for a weekend in the city and this space was perfect for us. Plenty of space for us all to hang out together and the bedroom sizes were great. Beds were comfortable, plenty of extra linens and towels too. Location was great and the neighborhood has restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. There were lots of the city scooters around too we enjoyed. Hosts were very responsive before and during our stay. Would absolutely stay here again.

House was as pictured and described, great neighborhood-University of Wisconsin, restaurants and beach all close by. House was very clean, yard needs a little cleanup, but it wasn’t a problem because we didn’t plan to use it. We only stayed one night due to record flooding and the host was extremely easy and understanding and due to the historic event even provided us a refund! I would definitely recommend if you are visiting g the area.

Overall the stay was very nice. Billy, the host, was very communicative and easy to reach. The place was adequately clean. Onsite laundry always a plus. Location is one of the best parts of Milwaukee (I know bc I was born and raised in Milwaukee :)Easy parking in the driveway or garage. Close walk to nice restaurants and parks.We were looking forward to our kids using the sandbox we saw in the photos, though unfortunately is was very dirty and overgrown with weeds. Also, the curtains in the bedrooms do very little to block out the light, so if you're a light sleeper who needs a dark room to sleep, this might be a concern.Overall, a nice home in a great location. We will consider staying here again.

Loved our stay.

We all throughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of room for the whole group. The moment we walked in we all felt comfortable. Lots of light and open spaces. Extremely clean. They thought of everything, from cotton buds to spices in the kitchen. Had a nice selection of teas to choose from. Laundry room was fully stocked for guests use. Short walk to a lovely coffee shop. Bus stop right out front of house. Very close to lakeshore, walking distance. We were very fortunate to have found such a nice property. It is well looked after.

Just not ready for guests

The whole stay just needed more attention. The patio, deck and bathroom were dirty. All the patio furniture was broken and dirty. All the mattresses were on the floor, no bed frames . The dishwasher leaked, the oven didn’t work. It just wasn’t fully ready for guests. The manager was easy to communicate with but for the nightly rate the house should have been ready to welcome us.
