Cute and comfortable. Just what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. Steps (literally) away from Main St. We'd definitely stay again.

Perfect Galena location and home base for couple exploring and/or traveling locally. In our case a wedding just out of town.

Clean room, love the location ! Easy access to everything we wanted from shopping to eating to sight-seeing. We weren’t there to ski so not sure why our review asked about that. Overall would recommend this property.

Location, location., location!!

This was a perfect little studio apartment for our two night stay in Galena!! It is one block up from the DeSoto Hotel which made it perfect for Main Street walking. Michael made it very clear at booking that it only has a double bed but that wasn’t a problem for us. We would definitely book again!

Nice find

Neat place that is 1/2 block off Main st., and just a short walk up/down the stairs to everything Galena has to offer in shops and restaurants. Host was in timely communication. Keep in mind- this studio is perfect if you’re not looking for luxury. It’s a very clean place to put your head down and/relax and watch tv….and short walking distances to the beauty of small town America. This is all we needed as we’ve visited the area many times. Thank you. Perfect.
