Nice location, close to great food and walking trails. There was a nice French Market on Sunday morning just down the street, with fresh fruits, baked goods, and crafts. The unit is clean and well maintained. If you’re taller watch your head going down the stairs to the unit. We would stay there again if in town.

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.

Weekend stay

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Oct, 2023
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.

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!

Stay in Geneva, IL

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!!
