Spacious flat in great east side location
The top half of a large duplex was very spacious with updated bath and kitchen but older house charm. Host was extremely responsive. Location just a few blocks from Downer Ave shops. Nice balcony area for sitting on sunny days. Fresh cream, milk and cookies on arrival. Would stay here again!

Great location
My son in law and I made a quick trip to Milwaukee to see family. The location was perfect. Easy access to Downer Ave, UWM, Lake Park, and Shorewood restaurants. The host was great with communication. Place was your typical east side flat which made it very homey. Highly recommend this place to stay.

Ideal Stay in a Great Neighborhood in a Wonderful City!!
We needed a nice place for a long weekend stay for our first ever visit to Milwaukee. We are so glad to have found this large, bright, well maintained historic-yet-modern apartment tucked between the University of Wisconsin/ Milwaukee campus and the Downer retail village. What struck us the most is that the apartment is set up and furnished just how we would have if it were ours, and the result for us was real comfort and relaxation. The location is ideal too, with lovely ten minute walks to the university, yummy restaurants, interesting shops, a fantastic local bookstore and neighborhood grocery store and, to the east, the fine parks along Lake Michigan. The host was also a pleasure to work with, providing a write-up of great visitor tips and leaving thoughtful (and delicious) treats for us in the kitchen. We so look forward to our next stay here, it’s been a joy!!

Perfect Experience
We were in town for the Tour of America’s Dairyland bicycle race. We found this listing that was near most by of our venues. We couldn’t have been happier. The location was great. The property was comfortable. WI street parking leaves a lot to be desired, but that’s the fault of the city of WI, not the hosts. David and Janet were great hosts. They let us use their garage out back. The floors in their place were a bit loud and I felt bad walking around late at night, but it is what it is. I highly recommend this property and host should you need something in the Upper East Side / Downer area.
