After a long day at Milwaukee's legendary music festivals, the lakefront, a visit to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, work meetings, family reunion, or whatever brings you here, we know that one of the main things you're looking for in your rental is a good night's rest! That's why we've invested in high-quality beds and bedding, extra pillows and blankets, air conditioning, and room-darkening shades to help ensure you sleep well. A portable crib is also available.
Before you turn in, wind down in the reclining sectional sofa with an episode of your favorite Netflix show on the large HD TV. And, in the morning, brew up complimentary coffee and teas with sugar, honey, half-n-half, etc. to get your day off to a good start.
The sunlit kitchen is well-equipped with pots and pans, utensils, dishes, and appliances, including a microwave for quick meals and a dishwasher for easy clean up. These amenities, together with a grocery store and bakery within walking distance, make it easy to eat in. Or, walk a pleasant four blocks to the local coffee shop, a variety of restaurants, local bookshop, and art-house theatre. There's a pharmacy nearby, too.
The kitchen open ups to a lovely sun room -- a great place to have your morning coffee or get some work done. The sunroom can also be converted into a 3rd bedroom, with twin bed, for longer stays.
The smart thermostat in the unit allows you to control your own settings for the central air conditioning and heat pump, which are powered by rooftop solar panels.
In addition to private access the entire upper unit, guests also have private access to the small balcony off the upper living room, including an outdoor table and chairs.
A parking space can usually be made available in a garage shared with the owners who live in the first floor unit, though most guests choose to park on the street directly outside the house. There is a (seldom enforced) 1 hr limit between 8am and 4pm on weekdays only. We will reimburse guests for fines for exceeding this limit. A permit (inexpensive) is required for overnight parking. See 'Map' for detailed notes on parking and / or contact us.
On-site laundry in shared basement laundry room is also available for guests staying longer than one week. Ask for details.
