Was in a great location. Walkable to most places or a short drive to others. Very clean. Very loud electronic music(to point of vibrating floor) from the exercise studio early in the morning and occasionally through the day was annoying.

Great location close to downtown

We spent a few days at this condo and it worked out great. Easy access, close to downtown, off street parking, and best of all a comfortable bed! We were able to walk to the Firefly Restaurant, and the Rare Bird, both had great food and drink. We walked downtown several days for shopping. The condo was nicely decorated with lots of room for us to stretch out. We would stay there again.

Wonderful location

Visited traverse city for my husband’s birthday weekend. The location was perfect! There was a farmers market we walked to Saturday and enjoyed. My husband loved walking along the river. We parked our car with plenty of parking behind the building. The unit was very clean and the owner was very responsive to any of my questions I had. I would definitely stay here again!!!

Disappointing stay

Excellent location in downtown TC and the free parking was a plus. Some of the interior finishes and furniture were not up to par and some of the photos on the listing are outdated and not representative of the current state. Also, the unit is above a fitness studio which starts some classes at 6 AM (other days the classes start at around 8 AM). The head pounding music combined with the leader yelling out instructions was not pleasant.

Great option very close to downtown TC

Overall the stay was great. It was the only affordable property that was within walking distance of downtown. The apartment was clean and had the amenities that we needed. Our 2.5y/o loved it. The bathroom was recently updated and no longer has a tub. We did have to buy a fan for the office because it did get stuffy and warm with the door closed. The workout studio below did have classes in the early morning which could be heard clearly but we were okay with it since we wake up early anyway.

Perfect location, lacking some amenities

The positives: location, space, easy check in process. Late night food at the bar across the street. Walking distance from downtown shops and restaurants. The negatives: The internet and TV connection stopped working on the night we arrived so Apple TV, streaming and any other television program was not available. I am not sure if the network was down in the area or if the host just needed to reset his routers through his mobile app but it never came back. I advised the host of the issue the next day, he responded but there was no attempt to resolve the issue. The inability to watch television or movies after a long day was a huge disappointment that caused us to go to bed alot earlier than we would have preferred. Thankful that my job didn't need me to log in to work remotely or I would have needed to find an internet cafe nearby Overall, we made the best of our vacation and loved visiting Traverse City.

Amazing weekend get away!

We have a large family (6), finding places that are family friendly, affordable, in a good location is like winning the lottery! This was our winning ticket! The space was perfect Safe parking, within 10 minutes to Tom’s grocery store (which has everything!), walking distance to great food, everything was in the kitchen we needed, plenty of pillows, blankets, the kids loved being in a historical building and in town. They thought it was the coolest. The family is already asking if we are staying here again!

Good Location

The location and parking is convenient. The place does not comfortably sleep more than two people. There is a pull out couch but it’s incredibly uncomfortable even for small children. The second bedroom has a pull out single bed but no sheets. Plus there is a window to the hallway with a light that we could not figure out how to turn off.
