Nice place to kick back and relax. Wanted more space than a hotel could offer so we could hang out, cook a homemade meal for our out of state student, play cards, etc. This place fit the bill perfectly. Garage was a nice plus. Vibe was very mid-century. Older home, so expect what would normally come with that. Had a great stay!

I was traveling solo 3 nights for a lecture series. I loved the MCM style of the apartment! It was extremely clean and the bed was comfortable. The information & instructions provided were clear & thorough. The hosts were quick to reply to questions. I additionally appreciated the garage parking & the host shoveled early every morning as a snow storm came through during my stay.

Very nice, clean and comfortable. Neat neighborhood. Walking distance to some nice restaraunts and bars. Easy access to downtown. Beds were very comfortable. Only issue was weak WiFi which the host felt might be due to recent storms in the area.

Reasonably priced MKE stay

We were in town for Summerfest and this location was great, we parked at nearby Shorewood Brat House and shuttled in. The upper flat has a MCM theme and we even enjoyed listening to an album on the working Zenith hi-fi. Comfortable bed, great shower, safety features.

We are long time landlords who wanted to try something new, so we furnished our very best properties and we enjoy hosting people traveling to our area. We are Milwaukee area natives, and live just a mile from this location. We are here to help, but won't get in your way.

Why they chose this property

I was raised in a similar mid-century era duplex, and it was fun putting it together with furnishings of that period.
