Wonderful location
Visited traverse city for my husband’s birthday weekend. The location was perfect! There was a farmers market we walked to Saturday and enjoyed. My husband loved walking along the river. We parked our car with plenty of parking behind the building. The unit was very clean and the owner was very responsive to any of my questions I had. I would definitely stay here again!!!

Great option very close to downtown TC
Overall the stay was great. It was the only affordable property that was within walking distance of downtown. The apartment was clean and had the amenities that we needed. Our 2.5y/o loved it. The bathroom was recently updated and no longer has a tub. We did have to buy a fan for the office because it did get stuffy and warm with the door closed. The workout studio below did have classes in the early morning which could be heard clearly but we were okay with it since we wake up early anyway.

Perfect location, lacking some amenities
The positives: location, space, easy check in process. Late night food at the bar across the street. Walking distance from downtown shops and restaurants. The negatives: The internet and TV connection stopped working on the night we arrived so Apple TV, streaming and any other television program was not available. I am not sure if the network was down in the area or if the host just needed to reset his routers through his mobile app but it never came back. I advised the host of the issue the next day, he responded but there was no attempt to resolve the issue. The inability to watch television or movies after a long day was a huge disappointment that caused us to go to bed alot earlier than we would have preferred. Thankful that my job didn't need me to log in to work remotely or I would have needed to find an internet cafe nearby Overall, we made the best of our vacation and loved visiting Traverse City.

The location was great! Close to downtown and all Traverse City has to offer was just a short walk away. Plenty of space for our girls weekend. There was a few hiccups along the way but Stuart was just a quick call away. He was a gracious host and worked to resolve everything quickly.

Amazing weekend get away!
We have a large family (6), finding places that are family friendly, affordable, in a good location is like winning the lottery! This was our winning ticket! The space was perfect Safe parking, within 10 minutes to Tom’s grocery store (which has everything!), walking distance to great food, everything was in the kitchen we needed, plenty of pillows, blankets, the kids loved being in a historical building and in town. They thought it was the coolest. The family is already asking if we are staying here again!

Good Location
The location and parking is convenient. The place does not comfortably sleep more than two people. There is a pull out couch but it’s incredibly uncomfortable even for small children. The second bedroom has a pull out single bed but no sheets. Plus there is a window to the hallway with a light that we could not figure out how to turn off.

Great location close to downtown
We spent a few days at this condo and it worked out great. Easy access, close to downtown, off street parking, and best of all a comfortable bed! We were able to walk to the Firefly Restaurant, and the Rare Bird, both had great food and drink. We walked downtown several days for shopping. The condo was nicely decorated with lots of room for us to stretch out. We would stay there again.

Great location with access to downtown. Spacious with huge TV’s and comfortable beds. Most of our downtown activities were within walking distance versus using our car. Music from the studio downstairs seemed constant from 7am on. Parking spaces can get a little tight, but nice to have a spot regardless.
