About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming Eastside duplex

After a long day at Milwaukee's legendary music festivals, the lakefront, a visit to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, work meetings, family reunion, or whatever brings you here, we know that one of the main things you're looking for in your rental is a good night's rest! That's why we've invested in high-quality beds and bedding, extra pillows and blankets, air conditioning, and room-darkening shades to help ensure you sleep well. A portable crib is also available. 

Before you turn in, wind down in the reclining sectional sofa with an episode of your favorite Netflix show on the large HD TV. And, in the morning, brew up complimentary coffee and teas with sugar, honey, half-n-half, etc. to get your day off to a good start. 

The sunlit kitchen is well-equipped with pots and pans, utensils, dishes, and appliances, including a microwave for quick meals and a dishwasher for easy clean up. These amenities, together with a grocery store and bakery within walking distance, make it easy to eat in. Or, walk a pleasant four blocks to the local coffee shop, a variety of restaurants, local bookshop, and art-house theatre. There's a pharmacy nearby, too. 

The kitchen open ups to a lovely sun room -- a great place to have your morning coffee or get some work done. The sunroom can also be converted into a 3rd bedroom, with twin bed, for longer stays. 

The smart thermostat in the unit allows you to control your own settings for the central air conditioning and heat pump, which are powered by rooftop solar panels. 

In addition to private access to this entire upper unit (up one flight of stairs from the front door), guests also have private access to the small balcony off the upper living room, including an outdoor table and chairs. 

A parking space can usually be made available in a garage shared with the owners who live in the first floor unit, though most guests choose to park on the street directly outside the house. There is a (seldom enforced) 1 hr limit between 8am and 4pm on weekdays only. We will reimburse guests for fines for exceeding this limit. A permit (inexpensive) is required for overnight parking. See 'Map' for detailed notes on parking and / or contact us. 

On-site laundry in shared basement laundry room is also available for guests staying longer than one week. Ask for details.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a travel crib.

East side charm

If you want to experience Milwaukee's east side - this is a perfect house and neighborhood. Even has the classic hexagonal bathroom tile, wooden French doors, and upper balcony of an east side house. Great bus access and the walkability to the lake. And the challenge of parking that defines Milwaukee - because this is a pedestrian's city. Great location on a great lake.

Great Stay by Campus

We were in town graduation weekend and had a wonderful stay! The unit was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The directions and guide were detailed and easy to follow. The unit was clean and beautiful. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and appreciated the opportunity to compost (even though we didn’t have much food waste). Parking was easy and the location is perfect.

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.
