Great location! Everything was exactly as shown on the website. Cita, as always, communicated quickly when I had any questions. I enjoyed a peaceful, quiet stay.

We are so glad that you were comfortable and enjoyed our space! And it sounds like you were able to experience the great downtown area! Please know that you are always welcome anytime!
Loved the apartment. It was beautifully decorated. Close access to 3rd street. We could walk to all the restaurants and shops. Everyone was friendly. We will definitely be back.
We loved the comfortable living area, great kitchen and snuggly bedroom. A perfect quiet location for relaxing and walking to our favorite shops and restaurants. We will stay again
We came up for Swedish Days and to see a friend for the weekend. Couldn’t have asked for a better place! Clean, convenient and had everything we needed!
Very clean, nicely furnished and one block away from a long street full specialy shops, restaurants, etc. Very quaint area. This is a basement apartment. Really no issue getting down the stairs but someone with mobility issues has to take care on the cramped stairway.
Spent three nights here. The place is absolutely immaculate and tastefully decorated. Neat and clean, everything you need, just like it states in VRBO. Owner was available for questions.Close to downtown with wonderful restaurants and shops. Easy walk and so fun!
Everything about our stay was perfect…the apartment was decorated so nice and made everything seem like it was home…the location could not be better, a 2 minute walk to all our favorite spots on Third St., and feeling safe in the neighborhood. 5+ stars, thank you Cita…will stay again!!!
This apartment was so plush! It looked like something out of a magazine! It was close to all the shops and was in the most quaint area. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks Cita!

Thanks, Verna! We loved having you, you are delightful. We would welcome a chance to host you again! Happy Holidays!
I have found this apartment to be a wonderful place when I need to be in town for a couple of days. The location is perfect. You can walk to everything in downtown Geneva. Cita's apartment is the cleanest VRBO you can find! So cute and updated. Love it!
I think the price is too high for the structure, it’s in a basement and very small place. It’s not easy to fit 3 people even though it says should accomodate 4 people
Stayed in the basement apartment for long weekend to visit local family. Walkable for all downtown 3rd street Geneva shops and restaurants. Comfortable, nicely decorated. Street & driveway parking. Great communication with property mgmt. Two apartments on upper floors. Quiet neighborhood overall. I will book it again for next family visit!
The unit was well decorated and clean, however it should be noted that this is a basement. Unfortunately the tenants in the unit above were quite loud which was a disturbance throughout the stay.

This is a multiplex unit so it is possible to hear others. If we'd had been informed, we would have gladly reached out to the upper unit, who are very cooperative. We always encourage our guests to reach out if there is a problem. It's difficult to address an issue without knowledge of it.
Wonderful location, 1 block from everything 3rd St has to offer. Walking distance to the Fox River (took a beautiful stroll with our dog), restaurants, shops. Didn’t need the car, except to leave the town. Cute apartment, perfect for 2 & our dog! Very comfy bed/sleeping, and Super Clean. The outside of the building, in back, is kinda run down, though, and on the way downstairs to the apartment, not so clean-looking. This is no reflection on the apartment itself, though. No Hot Tub & Im not sure why that’s advertised. Great communication with, & accommodations from, the Host, Cita!!
