About this apartment rental

This 2 BR duplex upper flat is located in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, and also features an office with a futon for additional sleeping and work space.

Centrally located just 2 miles north of downtown Milwaukee, this neighborhood is often called the "Brooklyn of Milwaukee". The residents of this neighborhood range from students to professionals. It has a particularly vibrant arts and music scene, and is sought after for its proximity to UW Milwaukee, the Milwaukee River, and downtown. This unit was completely renovated recently, including a completely remodeled kitchen and bathroom, and contains many vintage furnishings.

There is a private front entrance for this unit, and there is a garage space and one off-street surface parking space available for your use during your stay. There is also ample street parking available in front of this property. This apartment has a completely open concept layout, the kitchen features granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, there is a dining area that seats up to 6 people, and there is a large screen TV in the living room. Both bedrooms have queen sized beds. Enjoy cable and WiFi during your stay, or use the vintage stereo to stream music. There is a basement laundry room with free access to a washer and dryer. Spend some time on the private balcony, that is furnished with vintage patio furniture, if weather permits. Although completely updated, this is a two family property that was built at the turn of the twentieth century & the sound barrier is not perfect. You may be able to hear the people or pets in the lower unit or in neighboring properties from time to time, and they may be able to hear you. Thanks for being courteous to the neighbors!

Riverwest is diverse, features great coffee shops, restaurants, bars, public transportation, parks, the Milwaukee River Greenway - all within walking distance or a short drive.

This property location is:
* 8 blocks from the Brady St. entertainment district
* 1 mile from the Oriental Theater - home of the Milwaukee Film Festival - and other entertainment options on the East Side.
* 2 miles from downtown Milwaukee and Fiserv Forum
* 1.5 miles (6 min by car) from the University of WI - Milwaukee

We visited with intent to explore Milwaukee culture, music, food, and golf. A win in all categories. History abounds in nearby cafés, pubs, and shops. A diverse mix of people, places, and things. Downtown is easily accessed via local streets. The unit is spacious, clean, and quiet with an air of European sophistication and simplicity. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to host a large family dinner! Having a garage with opener was wonderful; we could leave golf clubs, et al. in the car overnight. Our host, Karen, was responsive to questions and checked-in with us via Vrbo during our stay. She provided a property and neighborhood informational packet with links to local attractions. The checkout and clean-up process was simple, straightforward, and quick. Highly recommend a stay!

We were looking for a property that was fairly close to our daughter in Brewer's Hill and chose this one (we needed a dog-free place for sleeping). While it wasn't within walking distance, it was just a short drive to get there. The apartment is very spacious and decorated with modern Vintage pieces that were fun to enjoy - plenty of seating. The apartment was super clean and well equipped with all we needed for our stay. The pictures of the property are accurate. We did not cook or eat there, but the kitchen is fully equipped (gas range, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and super deep sink) and with the beautiful large table, it would have been easy to do. There is a parking pad and one garage spot in the double garage (we just used the parking pad) off the alley. Keyless entry and well lit interior and exterior made it easy to access the building. We would stay there again and can recommend this property for others.

We had a very nice stay at this property. Having the parking pad available in the back was great given the construction on the street out front. The place was clean and spacious. You can feel good about booking this property.

The property location was perfect for us, it was roomy and kitchen was big. The couch and chairs were comfy. It was so nice to have a garage to park in. The only reason for 4 star instead of 5 is because the bed was so uncomfortable. We are elderly, so it's probably ok for younger people. I suggest having a mattress topper available in the closet for those who need it.
