Perfect for the price
Amazing location. We didn’t need anything fancy for our trip, mainly a place to crash at night in a good location to get to a few different places in the city. For having window A/C units, the place was very easy to cool down and stay cool during our late August trip. We also appreciated the comfy beds and good water pressure. Overall very good vibes. We love that it’s dog friendly, but a heads up that there’s nothing to block the stairs to the front door, so we had to make shift a barricade for our dumb curious dog who hurts themselves on stairs. So if your dog doesn’t do well with stairs, just know you might have to block off that area. Also, if you’re taller than 5’7, watch your head coming up the front steps. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely keep this on our list of places to stay when we come back to Milwaukee. It’s truly a great location to explore the city.

Exactly what we were looking for!
This is a small upstairs apartment in a very old home! Went to Milwaukee to visit my daughter. Just needed a clean place to sleep in a convenient location. Nothing fancy. Worked out great for us. Great communication with owner.

Close to everything, right price
The property was located in a great location within walking distance to downtown and restaurants/bars. It was both clean and comfortable. Although the property was obviously older the price was right for what it offered.

Needs some maintenance
Complete transparency. Great communication was much appreciated before we checked in and during our stay. That being said, the place was not fully cleaned or maintained outside. Not sure why they charge the cleaning fee. I think pictures of the fridge showing how dirty it was on the inside. Found dirty silverware when I went to get a fork out to use. Yeah I guess these things can happen but I would pay attention to details like this! We also tripped a breaker using one air conditioner. There are 3 units within, but at the time we were only using one. We contacted the owner who did respond in a timely manner. They told us that it can happen and to try to just use the one air conditioner. We didn’t have a problem with that as it was our last night there and we were going to be gone for the evening and the temp was fairly mild. But that wasn’t what was included in the listing. We were in the upper duplex part and my husband had to go outside, locate the basement entrance and flip the breaker. That did fix the problem and we were afraid to use the air anymore as it might be a fire hazard. Also the outside needs maintained better for safety, especially at night. Overgrown bushes and weeds by stairs entering home. Like I said, very good with communication but need to fix a few things.

Great location
The property is located in a great little neighborhood walking distance to Brady St. The upper unit is in need of tlc & lots of cleaning. We had to scrub the tub & the top of fridge before considering to stay & rough it out. The unit has very poor lighting, especially in the bathroom. The owner was very responsive to our questions & accommodated us with early check in.

Lovely stay in Milwaukee
After a brief hiccup checking in that was no fault of the owners themselves (and the owner was quick to respond and fix), our stay was quite enjoyable. We loved the location, found the bed to be super comfy, and had a wonderful weekend in Milwaukee!

Great place and location.
We were very comfortable in this space in terms of the nececities available and the hominess of the apartment. It was easy to head down to the street and walk the dogs. The neighborhood was nice and in close, but not too close proximity to the action on Brady street. Would stay here again.

Loved it!
The duplex is charming, loved that we could walk to lots of great restaurants! We especially loved Casablanca, food was great and the atmosphere fun! Loved Kompali, great tacos! Go on Tuesday, $1 off tacos! Loved Apollo’s, great food at very reasonable prices! If you like vintage clothes, check out Bandit! For coffee/tea, Rochambo’s is wonderful and the staff super friendly and nice! I’d stay here again!!

Needs TLC
We choice this rental as it was close to our daughters apartment. We knew it was an older property and are ok with that. The issues were about lack of maintenance. The paint was badly in need of touch up, a chair in the living room dirty, peeling paint and weeds by the entrance, broken blinds, etc. It could be really a cute place with some TLC. That being said, nothing was enough to send us packing, but would not stay again.

Do Not Rent This Home
This home is in terrible condition; run-down, broken windows, and not secure. In addition, when we arrived it was filthy; human and dog hair in the bed, human hair in the silverware drawer and bath tub,greasy table and dusty floors. It was very obvious someone had been living there.This is probably the worst home on the block, and is definitely the worst rental we have ever had!
