The East Side is a neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, considered to be a cultural and trend-setting center of the city since at least the 1960s. Encompassing an area just north of the Historic Third Ward neighborhood to the village of Shorewood, bordered by the Milwaukee River to the west and Lake Michigan to the east. Well-to-do settlers with upper-class roots developed the East Side along the lake. The location has an appeal on the Milwaukee bluffs of Lake Michigan. Many of the extravagant homes are still standing today. The East Side is considered by some as Milwaukee's melting pot, with a mix of hipsters, hippies, college students and young professionals converging in the area's diverse restaurants, bars and stores.

Exceeded expectations/Many benefits

I rented on behalf of a multi-generational family visiting us. Location was chosen due to proximity of friends/family they were visiting. While I was in the unit I did not actually stay overnight so some of my comments will be limited by that. First off, the communication leading up to and during the rental was outstanding. Very quick and helpful replies. The guests were met by welcome treats provided by the owner. The unit itself is much nicer than the pictures show. It is very large and open feeling. Several different living areas and nooks. Nicely decorated and comfortable. We used the wonderful sunroom as our main headquarters. The back yard area was nice and welcoming as well. Two outstanding benefits: 1) Came with two off street parking spots. This is often hard to come by in these listings. Many will say street parking available except that there is very limited hours during the day and restrictions overnight. So this is a big deal if one has a car - even a guest visiting with a car, 2)These older homes are often radiator heat and thus have no central air option, This host has provided 3 portable AC units!! Kitchen a little small (no complaint, seating available) but no one really cooked there so cannot comment on supplies for that purpose. Lastly, very detailed descriptions provided, of how things function including turning lights off and on which can be problematic finding, Manuals for everything. Smart TV. Can't go wrong with this rental.
