Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenae D. 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Recommend Property was great and communication was fantastic. There were a few problems with the tv and heating that seemed like the last tenant might have done intentionally. The heat kept resetting to 50 degrees and then back up to 70 without us adjusting it for example. Other than that, the location and cleanliness and stocking in the kitchen were excellent. ##### Jenae D. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tobin S. 12 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed in Leavenworth to float the river. This condo was the perfect location and near the take out point. Condo was very clean. We would stay here again. ##### Tobin S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kim 20 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great condo ##### kim Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan K. 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Lovely condo with super convenient location.The kitchen was decently equipped and large enough to maneuver in.Beds were a little soft for my preference, but good enough. The bedrooms both had strange window coverings as the drapes were only covering the lower of the two windows, but dragged on the floor in both rooms almost as if they were installed at the wrong height. I definitely shoved pillows in the upper windows to block light, which worked since the embrasure depth was deep and there were plenty of extra pillows.The heating system is poorly designed so it was super loud in the bedrooms due to really high airflow turbulence. Since it was only fall, we were lucky enough to be able to turn it off at night, but that probably wouldn't work in winter or summer when proper heating/cooling would be needed.Noise warnings from the listing were a bit of an understatement as trash comes by multiple times throughout the week and the living room is across the street from a brewery that has live music some nights (though not super late). We had a noisy (drunk) college group above us that were distracting, which is not this unit's fault, but the building definitely doesn't have great sound proofing between floors.All in all the condo fulfilled the important requirements I had for this specific trip, but I would look to stay elsewhere if possible next time and only return here if nothing else was more promising. ##### Megan K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott R. 3 Aug 2025 ##### Scott R.
