10/10 Excellent

"Great house and location"

Fun, style & comfort Eastside downtown 4 bedroom townhome near attractions

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for a family weekend in Milwaukee and exactly as pictured. The townhome is spacious and very clean, with two large floors, plenty of room and updates throughout. There is ample and easy street parking in front of the townhome, and a quick drive to downtown Milwaukee. The neighborhood is quiet. The host is very communicative and provided easy to follow instructions. There are a lot of stairs - both leading up to the townhome, once you enter, and a spiral staircase (as shown in the pictures), which were challenging for one of our family members with limited mobility but they were able to navigate. And, there are bedrooms on the first floor."
