Great Place for Last Minute Stay!
This place was perfect for a last minute stay in Grand Rapids. The property is cute inside, as well as being very clean and updated. It is definitely cozy, but for my husband and I, it was a perfect size. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs are definitely something to be aware of. We brought our senior dog and I had just planned on carrying her, so it wasn’t a big deal for us, but if you have bad knees or older dogs, be aware. :) Stephanie was very communicative and friendly. We would stay in any of her properties in the future. :) thank you!!

All good
As advertised, pictures are accurate. Communication with Stephanie was great. My only advise is to add that this apartment is up a flight of steep steps. We had to bring our dog who has some back leg problems and I would have picked one of the lower level rentals if I would have known this. Otherwise all was good. Thanks Stephanie.

Quick stay
Just an over night stay. Had a concert at Devos Performance Place, super quick to get here. Little less air freshener though. All in all good stay.

Great apartment near all the excitement
The host was very responsive and all instructions were clear. The apartment was very clean. The host allows dogs which is wonderful and not always easy to find. I just wish our dogs were not so noisy which is no fault of the property owner. This was a great place to stay and I highly recommend it.

Fancy property, great distance from downtown. However the HVAC units were not enough to keep us from freezing overnight. Otherwise a fantastic place to rent out.
