Mini-Getaway
Enjoyed 3 nights in Milwaukee with my family (husband, mother-in-law, 4 kids- ages 9, 3, 1, 1). We were excited about this house and the entertainment it offered for the kids. The layout was perfect, as everything is on one floor. 3 of the bedrooms are in the back of the house- perfect for when the younger kids went to bed earlier than the rest. The kitchen was equipped with a Keurig but only had enough k-cups for one cup of coffee per adult each morning. When we contacted the owner for more, he was very responsive and we were able to get additional coffee for our stay. The home is definitely old and has a few quirks (I.e. “meat locker” bunk room door does not close, toilet paper hung in the front door window panels in lieu of curtains). We were extremely disappointed with the overall cleanliness and didn’t feel the house had been thoroughly cleaned in a while. We found a bowl with what looked like moldy food in one of the closets and there were nails and a brick in the corner of the bunk room on the floor. We provided this feedback, with pictures, to the owner upon returning home. Overall, the house suited us for our visit but would not stay again and would not recommend.

Funky, historic, and fun
We booked this property to have a family gathering for my dad’s 90th birthday, and it was perfect for our needs. The front room that was formerly a store is spacious but still comfortable. It has beautiful wood moldings, tasteful accents of blue and black paint, a marble nook that was likely an old desk. It’s very funky but charming. The attached back quarters was great with a second, small living area and some bedrooms. Our two young granddaughters shared the former freezer-space-turned-loft-bedroom. It was lined with wood and was cozy for them—we loved this room. The kitchen, though small, was workable, fun, and well-stocked. We were able to make the front area festive for the party and everyone had a great time. There was a great assortment of games for all ages--foosball, board games, video games, and a giant connect 4—such a nice variety and it made it fun for everyone. The outside was inviting with the colorful mural. The location is well situated for going any direction in Milwaukee, and communication with the owner/manager was timely and helpful. There's plenty of parking, but a couple of off-limits spots, which the owner explained very clearly.

There were 11 male adults (28-50 age range). We were celebrating an individual's last days of being single. We looked all over the city for a reasonable priced place, that allowed gatherings, and close to the brewers stadium. We found a few but this listing was the best one. Fong was outstanding to work with. There was a glitch in the system and he took care of us well. The place was very accurate on how many people, to what they provided. I would say there are things that are slightly run down (Cabinet were bubbly, foosball table had a few things broken) and was slightly dirty (top of the cabinets, to a few places under the bed). I would say a 4.8 would be an appropriate rating, but Fong was outstanding as a host. Due to his kindness and willingness to help the review needs a 5+ star rating. The last thing I will say is all of the guest were complimenting the property left and right. I would stay there again!

Good space for large group, left some things to be desired…
The space was able to hold our group of three families of 4-5 which was great. Common space in front of house was great for our big group and had things to play with, etc. appreciated the off-street parking for 3-4 cars. The kitchen area was really hard to get cool - same with the one main floor bathroom (with no fan). Bedrooms had AC units which was helpful but noisy. Some things that I would have hoped to be better than they were: - The downstairs bathroom was not great - the shower was either scalding hot or freezing cold. Essentially unusable as a shower for our group. - Spider webs in downstairs bathroom, dust and other things under the beds (had not been swept) - Floors in the common spaces were dirty - our socks or feet were black after a couple hours of being there. When wiping up a spill in the kitchen the paper towel was filthy from the ground - No regular coffee maker, only K-cup machine with provided cups being unusual flavors like bananas foster and dulce de leche. We brought our own coffee but didn’t have a way to make it - Not enough cups/coffee mugs for our group - if the house can accommodate that many people, I would have hoped there would be enough cups, etc for them to use if dining at the same time Overall, the place serves its purpose and was in a good location to get to places we visited during the day. With some adjustments and attention to detail, this place could be stellar, but was underwhelming for the price we paid.

Good house to stay in while at Summerfest. Great variety of games to play at the house. Great location, walking distance to a couple bar and grills. 3 bedrooms had AC units, the other 2 bedrooms had fans. The 2nd bathroom is in the unfinished basement. Nice to have the extra bathroom but the shower water temp was either scalding hot or ice cold. Probably something easy to fix. Kitchen did not have AC unit so it did get quite warm while cooking. Also, there were limited mugs and silverware. For example, 4 forks and 5 mugs were available for a house that sleeps 10 plus people. Luckily we only had 6 people that woke up at all different times for breakfast, so it didn't phase us. Most days were spent at the fest. Overall, we enjoyed our time.

Perfect hangout spot
We were in town for an event and purposely added an additional day just to enjoy the space. Great location and ideal for entertaining. Multiple common spaces came in handy for spreading out when we wanted. Everything was clean and labeled which I loved. Host was very attentive and eager to help or make recommendations if needed. Would definitely stay here again!
