Great Apartment!
This was a perfect apartment for the two of us! It is small, but very comfortable and had everything we needed! It was in a great location - close to hiking, local restaurants, the alpaca farm, and great local shops. We had a wonderful long weekend!

Super cute
Entrance has a warehouse feel. Once you reach the 3rd floor you are greeted by an inviting foyer with swings and chairs to visit. Around the corner is a hall with multiple rooms that were rented out. Our room was gorgeous and had all the essentials! We will return !

Cute and charming place perfect for SIU parents
We stayed here on parents weekend at SIU and it was literally walking distance from the dorms where our son lives. Despite it being across the street from the east campus dorms, it was very quiet. It's like a small hotel with a lobby and four units. All were booked but we didn't hear anything from anyone. So peaceful. The room had a small kitchen which was perfect for breakfast. The bathroom had a great shower with very soft towels. The bed was also super comfy. A fan was even provided which was a nice touch for those that like that while sleeping. We will definitely be back. The only drawback for some would be that it's up two flights of stairs on the third floor. Totally fine for us but may not be perfect for all.
