Nest 45

Great place, everything as advertised. Super clean, everything we needed was there. We liked the location, 5min drive to Traverse City. Grocery store was 1/2 mile away, restaurant a couple blocks away, Bryant beach is right at the end of Garfield, TART is just behind the unit. The place is close enough to downtown yet is far enough away to keep you away from all the traffic and congestion.

This is the second time we stayed. I think it was cleaner than the first time which we did not think that was possible! The have bags around the site for you to clean up after your animal. Very animal friendly. The owner of the rental is very responsible and positive! Very willing to help and offer any advice you might need! We highly recommend and we will be back!

Great newer condo close to everything you need

Had a short 2-night stay at this condo, and our experience couldn't have been better. Plenty of space for us to spread out and with the TVs in every room, everyone had plenty of access to their own content as we wound down for the night. Very short drive to everything that TC has to offer. While I have no complaints, it's fair to note that my 15 y.o. complained of street noise from Garfield, which is a semi-busy street. I didn't hear any of that, andI think she experienced a couple of loud vehicles as she was trying to go to sleep, but otherwise slept like a rock. Thanks Jas and Sue!

Girl's trip

Very clean and well organized. We were impressed with the items that were available for our use, paper towels, toilet paper, sweeteners, olive oil, spices and coffee, dishwasher tabs. The kitchen is very well equipped! That made cooking in the unit easier! There were many extra towels (could use a couple more kitchen towels), sheets and blankets. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept great. Check in instructions were clear and easily understood. Jas, the host, was very responsive. My one suggestion would be to add more comfortable seating, maybe another couch. There is one small upholstered chair and the chairs from the kitchen table are hard. We had a great time and would absolutely stay here again.
