The building is super cute and nice! We walked everywhere, no need to drive and so many places to visit steps away! The apartment itself was clean and comfortable, the bedding especially smelled amazing and is so soft. I recommend the third floor, as you hear every squeaky step with it being an older building. I will be going back and highly recommend giving it a try!
The property was beautiful, well appointed, and the bed was very comfortable.
We gave it four stars because the floor was dirty, visible trash here and there and the mirrors were not clean. The shower hot/cold fixture was broken, but you were able to manipulate it so it would work. As we were leaving, someone was coming into fix it.
The property was amazing and beautiful. The location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere. The host was great at communicating and had a folder with things to do and see. Make sure to check out the antique stores and visit Gatsby's for a drink and meal.
I so so appreciate the experience we had here. We needed to be in town for a funeral, but there wasn’t an option for the date I needed. When asked, the host responded immediately and said they would try to accommodate. The place is stunning, location is perfect and host was so understanding and gracious. Can’t wait to stay here again!
The host was great with communication.
The apartment was clean, a good size space, well equipped, convenient to downtown Bay City.
We appreciated the extras that the host left such as bottled water, coffee, creamer, and some soft drinks. The towels were huge, fluffy, soft and absorbent!
The beds were comfortable.
I looked for a wine opener and didn’t see one, so you might stick one in your bag if staying in this unit.
We normally stay at a hotel downtown but will be staying here from now on! It was so convenient and nice!
We enjoyed our stay!!!
