It was just what I needed. However, no dishwasher could be a problem for more people staying at the unit. I ended up being alone and out most of the time. Everything was clean and comfortable!

Perfect location for two friends enjoying a reunion together in Galena. Would not recommend for anybody who struggles with stairs or steep inclines, but otherwise it was a perfect location to access all that downtown Galena has to offer. We did not spend all that much time in the apartment itself, but it was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. Excellent communication with the host and very clear and easy instructions for check in, check out, parking, and anything else we needed know.
