Had a great time and everything I needed was there. I was there for four days, could’ve been better stocked for that length of time. (Laundry soap and trash bags but we just bought our own. The view from the bedroom was beautiful!! The view from the balcony was incredible as well. Loved to sit out there while I drank my coffee in the mornings. The only bathroom is upstairs, heads up on that. So are all the bedrooms. Was not a problem for us but thought people should know. Parking lot is a little hidden but the map helped. There are stairs from the parking area down to the units front door. The next door neighbor is maybe a foot away but definitely stay to themselves. Beds were comfortable!

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Disliked: Check-in, location
Confusing door labels A & B when units are 1 & 3. Neighbors had multiple cars & a RV and had been parked in x 2. Porch facing lake awesome, better direction to find place " pass thru 3rd St stop light, tun right onto 4th St and cross Mesaba again. It's 1st driveway immediately on your left, drive in to see property" Neighborhood hopefully u[ and coming.

Enjoyed our stay in Duluth and appreciated the use of the property as base camp for our weekend. No issues with check-in and were able to quietly enjoy the accommodations. Thank you.
The place was as described. The view from the bedroom was AMAZING!!!. It was old but amazing views. The AC was two window units and not central air. The washing machine took a bit to get it to work and it took the host a few hours to respond to me. This why it is 4/5 and not 5/5. I would give it 4.5 if I could. The parking was a bit confusing so make sure you read the parking directions carefully. The check boxes were not labeled well but we figured it out. All in all great places. I would stay again
