Rare East Side-2 min walk to UWM-Garage-Lake Mich

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot!"

Gorgeous space with huge porch.

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here during my daughter’s UWM orientation. Campus was within walking distance (just under a mile) as well as coffee shops and restaurants. The neighborhood felt very safe. Very important for two female travelers. A little road and upstairs apartment noise but nothing that kept us awake. Luis was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay."

Step right up, step right up! Welcome to the grand, the unique, the unparalleled

8/10 Good

"This is a huge house in an exceptional part of the city. Nine bedrooms on the second and third floors and in the basement, plus a pullout sofa bed on the first floor (which was extremely nice for one of our guests with mobility issues), and three full bathrooms. It's close to everything on the east side with easy access to downtown, the lakefront and the rest of the city. Plenty of towels and linens, plus a washer and dryer in the basement. The kitchen is well stocked and ideal for preparing meals. I loved having the natural gas grill and the outdoor seating area.But there are issues that kept it from being the ideal place I hoped for. As an old house, it has not been very well maintained. Both outside and inside, it needs lots of repairs. Even within the block of huge old homes it's on, it is visibly the most rundown. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of. Also, as an old house, there are very few electric outlets, and most of them were either behind heavy furniture or filled with lamps and TVs. That's part of the charm of such an old house, I guess. A bigger issue (to me, at least) is that the house is obviously the owner's residence when not rented out. Literally every dresser, chest and closet was filled with clothes and personal stuff. Nobody in our group could unpack or hang up our clothes. For our large group staying for a week, that was not very charming. We had a great time and enjoyed the house. Just be aware it's not perfect."

Charming Eastside duplex

10/10 Excellent

"My family of four stayed at David’s Milwaukee duplex over the Fourth of July week and we had a wonderful experience.The apartment is in a great location in a quiet, walkable neighborhood with easy access to everything we wanted to do. It was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked with pots, pans, coffee, and everything we needed to feel at home. David even welcomed us with coffee and delicious baked goods, which was such a thoughtful touch.The check-in and check-out instructions, parking information, and key directions were all clear and easy to follow. Communication with David was excellent throughout our stay and he was responsive whenever we had a question.I highly recommend David’s Milwaukee Vrbo to anyone visiting the area. You’ll feel right at home and have a comfortable stay. We hope to stay here again the next time we’re in Milwaukee."
