Although the bowery was warm, there was no thermostat that we could use to adjust the heat. The stairs were steeper than the picture seemed to show. But, overall, it was what we expected.

Check in was easy, location was great, and when we needed sheets and a wasp problem taken care of, communication with the host was prompt. Smelled of cats, but otherwise it worked out pretty well for our family.

Great place

Our family enjoyed our stay at the fairy Bowery. The location was perfect for our visit. We really didn’t spend much time there, but each night when we returned we had a great nights sleep. Plenty of beds, air mattresses, blankets, etc. We loved that it had two full bathrooms for our family of six.

REALLY nice apartment! Comfy and well stocked with bedding, pots and pans, towels etc. Its an old house, which I love, but the floor creaks so don't plan on sneaking in the kitchen for a midnight snack! We had a super great time and definitely would come back to this apartment!

The location of this place is great for the Nauvoo pageant. Check in process was easy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware. I wanted to give it a great review but we killed at least 20 spiders during our 3-day stay and every corner had cobwebs. The smell in the place was terrible so we bought some Febreeze and that helped a little. Overall it was quite dirty and we left a day before our stay was over.
