Guests or tenants above us very noisy. Living room rug needs to be cleaned or replaced. Stairs and entry need cleaning too.

Just what we needed

Loved the location in downtown, near so many shops and places to eat. It was perfect location for our reason to be in Bay City over the weekend. The stairs are something you need to be ready for but certainly wasn’t a problem for us. The beds were comfortable and the things we needed were certainly close at hand. Overall we were completely satisfied with our stay!

Mom/Daughter Getaway

The place was big, clean, and perfectly located! We felt very safe with all the locks and the environment. The floors are pretty creaky and the furnance rumbles quote a bit when it kicks on, so if you're a light sleeper, that mayb an issue. Otherwaie, a great value!

Perfect location!

This was the perfect location right in downtown & a block from the water. Nearby playground, walkable riverfront, restaurants, antiques, & entertainment. Cleaning crew could do a better job with fridge/freezer & floors. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Stay

Great location for an overnight stay. Great communication and we loved the place. It was clean, well stocked with everything we needed. Highly recommended. Also, there are multiple units on VRBO in the building if you need more than one rental for other family members.

Perfect surprise

Excepting the 22 stairs, the unit was almost perfect. We planned on cooking in though I don't know why with all the wonderful restaurants around! That can be costly since we were there for a week. A few more kitchen items would be called for. The unit itself was just awesome with comfy furniture and beds. We will be back!

Ear plugs and white noise machines

Nice historic old building with pretty renovation, but....... absolutely no sound insulation and right above the rowdiest bar in town. How good is your vacation if you get no rest? The place was loud as hell.

Everything about this whole experience was amazing. Communication with the host was excellent. The apartment is gorgeous. Host provided coffee, water and soft drinks. Perfect location. We are first time VRBO users and were nervous but Donald made sure all our questions were answered right away. Looking forward to our next stay.
