We had a great time in Milwaukee. The house was so comfortable, beautiful neighborhood. Kristina, the host, was very accommodating and always available to answer our questions. We could walk to Lake Park, short drive to downtown.

Great weekend stay
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay here. As an avid walker, the ability to get out and enjoy a lovely morning walk each day was a perk. The neighborhood felt very safe. We also enjoyed some of the amenities that are close by with the location near UW-Milwaukee. The space allowed our group of 3 adults, 2 kids, one toddler, and one teen to be very comfortable. Will hopefully be able to stay here again.

Great Host!
The owners are just terrific. Despite some challenges caused by the city working on the water lines just outside the house, the stay went off without a hitch. They were communicative, responsive and very helpful. The property itself was well appointed, having everything we needed for a pandemic-era "staycation" with my siblings (several senior citizens among the group). So glad we found this property. It was perfect for us.

Great place!
5 of us stayed in this cute and neat rental that was in a fantastic neighborhood! Close to lake path- we walked to Collectivo coffee shop, visited kids going to MSOE and Medical school. Was cold November weekend so mostly cooked in and enjoyed great gathering space. Host was accessible and responsive. 2 parking spots included which was nice and easy to add online permits for other cars with link given by host Would recommend and hope to be back next year!

Great place, great owner!
For our annual guys' trip we headed to Milwaukee and stayed at this property. It was perfect! Spacious bedrooms, great living room and dining room, ample kitchen, and with a corner lot it was nice to enjoy the outdoors. The neighborhood is very welcoming; there were always families playing outside and people walking around. Safe and comfortable. It is also not far from most places we wanted to go which was very convenient. Rental scooters and Ubers were readily available. In addition, if you rent a car/drive to the property you have access to a garage space and a driveway space! Street parking is free on the weekends, but a bit tricky during the week. Best of all, Kristina (the owner) was very helpful! We exchanged messages via the VRBO app, iMessage, and even a couple of phone calls. Very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!

Great for families or multiple couples!
Kristina is wonderful to work with from the beginning to the end! Our family enjoyed the spacious living room and dining room for together times and could all find alone time in our 4 bedrooms. The children’s playroom was an added bonus, being next to the grandparents (us!) and Mom & Dad. Parking was easy and plentiful- great location ! Will definitely book again when we’re in Milwaukee.

Lovely neighborhood in wonderful location. Great home but we missed having central air in August. Only 3 of the 4 bedrooms have window units so the 4th bedroom was way too hot to use in the heat of summer.v

Great Time in Milwaukee
Group of friends did our annual guy trip to watch the SF Giants, and this year’s stop was for a weekend series in Milwaukee. This house was perfect for our group, and we had an amazing weekend. Only feedback would be to add in more fans throughout the house to improve air circulation (especiall in upstairs bedrooms). Hostesd is great, super friendly and helpful. Very nice neighborhood, was easy to get around all over town. Highly recommend this house.

It was just as pictured and described - perfect for 4 friends to each have our own room and living areas big enough to lounge around in the morning and night. Great location for ubering to various MKE attractions - the neighborhood is gorgeous with stately older homes and townhouses-wish we had time to walk around! Hope to stay here again sometime!

Lovely property in a charming neighborhood
We recently drove to Milwaukee with our 3 grown kids from the suburbs of Chicago. Communication with Kristina was very prompt and she provided us with all the info we needed to check in. The home is in a leafy residential neighborhood, very quiet. It was very clean and had great character details. We enjoyed playing cards, watching the Bucs win their playoff game, and also alone time in our separate rooms. We walked to the store, restaurants, and drove to the beach and other sights. We loved Milwaukee and would love to come back and stay here again.

Great neighborhood and location. The home was thoughtfully stocked and prepared, very clean. It was understated. There are 5 usable bedrooms. We enjoyed the use of the home and used the kitchen for a family meal. Look forward to future visits.
