About this property

The vilas Loft Efficiency blocks from Saint Mary's, Meriter, and UW Hospital

Stay close to Camp Randall and Madison’s main hospitals in a newly finished loft studio with vaulted ceilings, marble-look tile, and a full bathroom. This compact space works well for Badger football weekends and for guests visiting UW Hospital, UnityPoint Health-Meriter, or SSM Health St. Mary’s.
The main level has an open living and kitchen area. A gray sectional and small table give you a place to sit, eat, and unwind after a game or hospital hours. Keypad entry is on the door.
Sleeping is in the overhead loft, reached by a wooden rolling ladder. The loft holds a mattress under the peaked ceiling with built-in lighting. This is not a good fit for anyone who cannot climb a ladder, including guests with limited mobility, most young children, and anyone who prefers a standard bedroom.
The kitchenette includes a refrigerator, microwave, drip coffee maker, sink, and a four-burner electric stove and oven, plus hanging pots and basic cookware. White storage cabinets run along the wall for groceries and belongings.
The bathroom is fully tiled, with a walk-in shower (rain shower head and handheld sprayer), a vanity with storage, and a toilet. There is no bathtub.
Best for 1–2 adults in town for Wisconsin Badgers games, traveling nurses, visiting family, or a short campus stay. This is a small studio, not a full house.
Good to know: the bed is in a loft accessed only by ladder. Ceilings slope in the loft. There is a small interior step between rooms. Game-day traffic and parking near campus can be tight, so plan extra time. Please confirm parking, Wi-Fi, and guest count in the listing details before you book.

If you can walk to Camp Randall, or you know the drive time, tell me and I’ll swap “close to” for the exact minutes. Same for loft bed size, whether the sofa sleeps anyone, and parking.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness
Cute design, but it wasn’t very clean and a couple of things didn’t work. Sheets weren’t clean. They had hair and crumbs in the bed, but we didn’t end up sleeping in the bed since loft was so steep, ladder was too wobbly, and a lot of bugs on ceiling. We walked in an it was in the 90’s - all the windows were shut and a space heater was on. The windows also barely opened. It was 80 degrees the weekend we stayed. Fan didn’t work in the bathroom and one of the shower heads projected only freezing cold water. Good location though.
