This stay was a wedding gift for my daughter & spouse. They loved the space, the comfort of the bed and furniture. The unit was very close to all of the great shopping and restaurants in Galena. But the unit also had a kitchen, if you want to eat in.
Wonderful place!Great location overlooking Main Street — we were able to walk everywhere.Beautiful apartment with high ceilings and quality amenities.The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom even had an amazing steam shower.A perfect spot for a weekend away; I highly recommend it.Communication with the host was excellent, and the reserved parking spots were just a few steps away.
