The studio was really neat and tidy. Very clean. The host was excellent. I accidentally showed up early and the host was onsite and actually came and talked to me and couldn't have been nicer. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will definitely be staying here again whenever I'm in town. Highly recommend!

We had to be out of our home unexpectedly with 2 dogs with short notice. We were lucky to find a place close to home that would accomodate our pets. We had trouble with the heat and the host was very responsive and helpful and even offered to move us if we continued to have problems.

This is the place to stay in Effingham

My wife, daughter, and I stayed here for three nights. This place was perfect for us. We were pretty busy meeting with family and friends during the day so this place was a cozy and very comfortable place to relax and rest. It had great places around it to eat and have drinks. Definitely recommend.

Everything You Could Ask For

We were amazed at how well this small space was turned into a little architectural gem. The apartment had every single amenity. We took pictures of every nook and cranny because it was so perfectly arranged and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the restaurant next door and even took our dog to the outdoor patio.

Nice downtown location

We really enjoyed the location of this rental. It was a safe area with lots of nice restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Folks in town were friendly. Studio loft was just right for the two of us. Had everything you need for a short stay. Can’t beat the price and location compared to the hotels based on what you get here. Would definitely stay again

Lovely renovated apartment in old bank building

Fit my needs perfectly for a one night stay as I travelled from Kansas to Ohio. The restaurant right next door was so convenient for this tired traveler and provided a delicious Caesar salad! The apartment was spotlessly clean with everything I needed. Highly recommend! 😃
