This is the place to stay in Effingham

My wife, daughter, and I stayed here for three nights. This place was perfect for us. We were pretty busy meeting with family and friends during the day so this place was a cozy and very comfortable place to relax and rest. It had great places around it to eat and have drinks. Definitely recommend.

Nice downtown location

We really enjoyed the location of this rental. It was a safe area with lots of nice restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Folks in town were friendly. Studio loft was just right for the two of us. Had everything you need for a short stay. Can’t beat the price and location compared to the hotels based on what you get here. Would definitely stay again

Everything You Could Ask For

We were amazed at how well this small space was turned into a little architectural gem. The apartment had every single amenity. We took pictures of every nook and cranny because it was so perfectly arranged and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the restaurant next door and even took our dog to the outdoor patio.

Lovely renovated apartment in old bank building

Fit my needs perfectly for a one night stay as I travelled from Kansas to Ohio. The restaurant right next door was so convenient for this tired traveler and provided a delicious Caesar salad! The apartment was spotlessly clean with everything I needed. Highly recommend! 😃

Skip the hotels!

I lived in Effingham many years ago and admire the repurposing of one of the lovely downtown buildings. This property is super clean, comfortable and modern with many amenities including a full sized washer and dryer. Hosts are extremely responsive and cordial to your every whim. Check in and out was slick and easy. DO IT!!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Brummer

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Michael. I'm a husband and a father to my beautiful wife and baby girl, an adventurer, and an entrepreneur. We grew up in rural Illinois and now live in Teutopolis, which is a small town next to Effingham. I am deeply passionate about our hometown and the surrounding areas and love to share it with other people. We have incredible people here! As a frequent traveler, I've stayed in more hotels than I care to remember. I started looking for a way to share an authentic experience with people and decided to combine my affinity for hospitality, design, and our town. This location in Effingham doesn't get any better and we pay close attention to every detail to help you have the best stay possible.

Why they chose this property

This building is so cool! It is a old bank built in 1890 that we renovated in 2020. It was our goal to let the history and stories of the old building show through in our re-design and we love the rugged brick and high beamed ceilings. We named it the XCHNG since it was once an "Exchange" of goods and currency, and now it is being utilized as an "Exchange" of ideas, culture, creativity, and authenticity. On the first floor we operate a co-working (community office) space by day, small event venue on the weekends, and are currently in planning stages for a basement bar.

What makes this property unique

Safe. Close Parking. In-unit laundry. Toiletries provided. High quality furnishings.
