My stay at The Love Shack was a Thanksgiving gathering with my two young adults. It was a very comfortable and fun stay for us. The apartment is very clean and well maintained. It had everything we could possibly need. The decor is tasteful and the location is great. We enjoyed some MKE tourist activities. The hosts are very prompt with replying to questions or concerns. Communicating with Michael and Kayla was delightful.
This location couldnt have been more perfect for us to get to Summerfest. Less than 10 minutes to/from. Check in was a breeze with a YouTube video showing us exactly how to get in to home. Communication was excellent and when I asked to allow some family to stay at last minute, we were accomodated which i appreciated so much. It was unnecessary but tells you what you need to know about hosts. Thank you for a memorable weekend!
