This was a perfect space for our short stay. We were right in the midst of the historic downtown. We never had to drive except to move our vehicle for street cleaning. The directions from the owner’s communication was clear, concise and very timely! The property was clean and quiet.

Cute little space to rest after all the fun shopping and dining downtown! Very clean and had everything we needed. The stairs were a bit tight and steep going up to the 2nd floor but manageable. I would not recommend the stairs for the elderly or anyone having stability issues when it comes to balance. The shower was adequate but again it was tiny. It reminded me of showering in a camper due to the smallness. With that being said, the bathroom was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Great space but for the right guests.

Galena

This property was clean and the location was perfect, just steps from downtown Galena. It's a bit small, but we knew that when we rented it and it was great for a few nights. There was enough to do in Galena that we were only in the room to sleep. We would stay here again!

Cute studio apartment close to downtown

My spouse and I stayed at Michael's place for a recent weekend trip to Galena. Communication with Michael was timely and clear. The apartment was cute and close to downtown. It's a small space (accurate as advertised), so just be prepared for that!
