Beautiful Suite

Even more beautiful than the pictures online. It was a perfect location. When you stepped outside you were right on Main St and could walk to everything. The suite setup up was perfect. From the beds to beautiful bathrooms to a well-stocked kitchen. Highly recommend.

This suite (201) was a fantastic find. The building was right on Main Street , with two entrances. One door opened onto Main Street and the other onto Bench street . There was some reserved parking spots in a lot on Bench street , which we used, we just had to send the host a picture of our car. The unit was very clean and cozy. Comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well appointed with dishes , pans, utensils, coffee pot. There was coffee for us to use, along with sugar/ creamer. This host makes a big effort to make you feel welcome with all the extras she has there for you to use. The bathroom had shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash in shower, Extra toilet paper , Kleenex, and little notions that you find in high end hotels. ( sewing kit, shoe wipes, shower cap, makeup removal wipes, makeup wash cloth,bath salts, eye masks for sleep, bath robes) . The beds were comfortable but my only issue was the very flat pillow. Honestly, that is the only thing I would change . The unit is very quiet, we didn’t hear anyone else while there. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Overall , this unit is a hidden gem and we will definitely stay again .

Perfection!

The photos don’t do this apartment justice, it is beautiful, spotless and very well appointed! Loved sitting on the window seat people watching and enjoying the cozy fireplace. They included everything from coffee, snacks, bath salts & free coffee/bakery item from the bakery downstairs.

The property was lovely, clean, and most importantly, in a perfect location for Galena shopping. The many stairs might be a problem for some visitors, but I would gladly climb them for the pleasures of the comfortable lodgings and wonderful location.
