The apartment provided the things we needed and the location was great for our downtown activities.
Was a great place to stay with my girlfriends for a concert at the Casey's center - very walkable & close to many bars and food places. Liked the games in community room in the basement! Would definitely stay again.

Great stay! The bed was fantastic, I’m a mattress snob and after staying we loved the beds. Great location! Try Early Birds for breakfast! We ate at the Royal Mile Irish pub- great food! Annie’s had a great patio and band! Very clean city!
