The apartment was ideal and exactly as described. It was very clean, and very comfortable with a lovely, well-equipped kitchen. We didn’t make use of the outside area, or the bicylces, but they seemed in great condition, and with the nearby bike paths around the lake that would be a nice option next time.

Stayed here with a friend. The place was very comfortable and represented accurately in the listing. We don’t do any cooking, but had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was nice to have a good supply of dishes, silverware and hangers, which is rare in a vacation rental. The neighborhood is really nice and we enjoyed walking around looking at the houses and gardens. We had a couple of issues during the stay, which our hosts were quick to address and make sure everything was ok for us. Would definitely stay here again!

Great unit in a great area

We really enjoyed our stay in South Uptown. The unit was perfect for our group of 4, tastefully updated. It’s in a great location near the lake but close enough to downtown. It was nice to be able to use the garage to park. Would definitely visit again.
