A friend and I came into town for 3 nights stay. What a great location so close to everything you need! Very spacious and is a charming historical building. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will search this property out again in the future.

Great location close to downtown

We spent a few days at this condo and it worked out great. Easy access, close to downtown, off street parking, and best of all a comfortable bed! We were able to walk to the Firefly Restaurant, and the Rare Bird, both had great food and drink. We walked downtown several days for shopping. The condo was nicely decorated with lots of room for us to stretch out. We would stay there again.

Was in a great location. Walkable to most places or a short drive to others. Very clean. Very loud electronic music(to point of vibrating floor) from the exercise studio early in the morning and occasionally through the day was annoying.

Wonderful location

Visited traverse city for my husband’s birthday weekend. The location was perfect! There was a farmers market we walked to Saturday and enjoyed. My husband loved walking along the river. We parked our car with plenty of parking behind the building. The unit was very clean and the owner was very responsive to any of my questions I had. I would definitely stay here again!!!

Overall our stay wasn’t terrible and there were just a few things that could’ve made it better! The location of this property is great- walking distance to some nice places in downtown TC! Lots of seating and a good size apartment. Beds were comfortable! The not so good: the listing undersells the barre studio noise that is directly below. One of the mornings (a Friday) we were woken up to thumping bass at 6am- continues for an hour, then starts up for the next class. We were there with our 8yo child and were unpleasantly surprised. The rest of the days, the classes started at 8am and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s loud thumping bass and you can hear the studio directors voice leading the classes. We were 3 people and did not have enough linens. There were 2 washcloths for bathing, and only 1 hand towel in the kitchen. There definitely was a lack of towels all around for a 5 day stay. The sponge for dishes had to have been there for MONTHS. The bathroom sink was tiny and clogged- we did reach out about this and were told it would be addressed after we left. Again, this wasn’t a terrible stay- but a few things under the owners control would’ve improved it!

Great option very close to downtown TC

Overall the stay was great. It was the only affordable property that was within walking distance of downtown. The apartment was clean and had the amenities that we needed. Our 2.5y/o loved it. The bathroom was recently updated and no longer has a tub. We did have to buy a fan for the office because it did get stuffy and warm with the door closed. The workout studio below did have classes in the early morning which could be heard clearly but we were okay with it since we wake up early anyway.

Disappointing stay

Excellent location in downtown TC and the free parking was a plus. Some of the interior finishes and furniture were not up to par and some of the photos on the listing are outdated and not representative of the current state. Also, the unit is above a fitness studio which starts some classes at 6 AM (other days the classes start at around 8 AM). The head pounding music combined with the leader yelling out instructions was not pleasant.

Perfect location, lacking some amenities

The positives: location, space, easy check in process. Late night food at the bar across the street. Walking distance from downtown shops and restaurants. The negatives: The internet and TV connection stopped working on the night we arrived so Apple TV, streaming and any other television program was not available. I am not sure if the network was down in the area or if the host just needed to reset his routers through his mobile app but it never came back. I advised the host of the issue the next day, he responded but there was no attempt to resolve the issue. The inability to watch television or movies after a long day was a huge disappointment that caused us to go to bed alot earlier than we would have preferred. Thankful that my job didn't need me to log in to work remotely or I would have needed to find an internet cafe nearby Overall, we made the best of our vacation and loved visiting Traverse City.

You’re definitely paying for proximity to Front Street with this property. The apartment itself is fine; it has a comfy bed and enough space. Positives:Good location, free parking space (very tight if you have a larger vehicle), easy check in process (do they change the codes between guests??)To be improved:We found the overall cleanliness to be sub-par and the overall set-up felt like an afterthought. It had all the parts but everything felt dated, dingy, and kind of run-down. I agree with another former renter who stated the sponge to clean dishes as disgusting; I didn’t trust the cleanliness of any of the dishes and so we didn’t use any appliances or cook; the couch felt grimy so we put a sheet on. The water pressure in the shower was pretty weak. We had earplugs so weren’t too bothered by the noise from the fitness studio below, but we did notice the noise. If you really need to be close to this area it’s an option, but I won’t stay here again considering how close most things are in a short drive. I’d prefer to spend this much on a cozier, cleaner space.
