The stairs are extremely steep, so if mobility is at all an issue this is not the spot for you. The place itself was as advertised and worked perfectly for us. You can even see the lake from the window.

Great weekend trip!

Lovely spot in the middle of downtown Racine

Such a lovely modern and clean property walkable to restaurants, pharmacy, gelato, and bakeries. On a busy Main Street however does not take a way from a quiet and peaceful nights rest as the bedroom is not street facing. Owner very responsive and has literally thought of everything her guests may need. Notepad and pen included. If you are looking for a contemporary spot where you have a mix of city living yet peaceful vibes then you should consider this space. You will not be disappointed!

Great property, close to the waterfront and right in the heart of downtown. Good restraunts nearby! Much quieter than staying in downtown MKE and a 40 min drive to do the things we wanted to do in MKE.

Great Stay!

I had a fantastic Labor Day weekend at the graduate on Main Street and Racine . The modern cozy apartment was just a short walk from North Beach making it an ideal spot for Lakeside retreat. The queen size bed and smart TV were perfect for unwinding in the full bath and laundry facilities added extra convenience. The keyless entry made everything hasslefree the host’s Communication was exceptional, responsive and helpful throughout my stay highly recommend for a memorable stay with top-notch hospitality.

Beautiful apartment in a great location downtown

This is an immaculate apartment, beautifully designed, with all of the necessities. Bed and couch were very comfy. Location was great for being able to walk around downtown (check out the rocking chair scavenger hunt) and with close access to the beach and zoo. Angela was great to rent from!

Our second stay in under a month. Location and property were wonderful. We used nearby parking ramp which was only $2 per 24 hours. We would recommend this spot when visiting Racine. Host is really nice and quick to respond to anything. 👍

Location is perfect. It’s a walking distance from restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. Very nice and clean. You can tell a lot of thought and creativity was put into the decoration and supplies included inside the living space. I am so glad I booked here. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect spot for a getaway!

We really enjoyed the location to fun shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the Ivanhoe Irish Pub. Angela answered any questions we had and gave us some great tips for things to do in the area! The space is newer, nicely decorated, and very clean! There was a long flight of stairs to reach the home, but well worth it!!

Relaxing Getaway

Owner is WONDERFUL and very easy to contact. Unit is exactly as described- warm, inviting, stocked with all the essentials and very comfortable. We enjoyed our weekend stay in this nicely decorated unit. Our only notes are (1) the high ceilings are great for ambience but not fun walking up the steep stairs, (2) location had some really good restaurants closeby like Maple Table but overall a bit bare. If you enjoy walking, the waterfront harbor is only a few blocks away. For us, this unit was perfect for a relazing weekend getaway.

Loved it! Will be back!

My husband, son and myself stayed here a few days ago and absolutely loved it. It's exactly like the description. Angela was very accommodating and quick to respond anytime I reached out to her. Our son slept on the pull out sofa. It was a little loud out there but not enough to really bother him..just maybe something to think about if you're having someone sleep in the living room. We are going back to Racine in a couple of weeks and are staying here again!
