We enjoyed our stay in the Tanner building. Old building but well kept. The location was awesome located by good bars and the main street with everything on it. Close to water and planetarium.
The apartment was right in the downtown area, walking distance to many places to eat and things to do as well as the park, where we enjoyed a free concert.
Came for the bay city wine walk. Met with friends and family. Had an awesome time! Bay city has so much to offer, including shopping and great food... all within walking distance. We'll be back!
Perfect accommodation. Comfortable. Many small details like the olive oil on the stove, huge bath towels and throw blankets on couch and bed. Clean. Located in the best location in the middle of downtown activities. Great restaurants, bars and boutiques. Even a craft show outside our door. Will definitely stay here again.
This apartment was conveniently located and close to numerous restaurants. Everything was clean and well appointed. The only disappointment was the combined shampoo/body wash bottles - thanks for supplying them - but the quality was very low compared to the rest of the apartment.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Everything was good. The lock to our room needs a new battery and we hard time getting in at first. I strongly recommend staying here. Even the parking was easy.

What a beautiful gem in downtown Bay City. We were so delighted to find this. No offensive to the local hotels but this is 10 times better than the local accommodations. Our host had fantastic communications and the instructions were clear and access to the apartment was easy. The accommodations were amazing, clean and the tidy.
This place is centrally located, within walking distance to the friendship shell, the planetarium and restaurants. The next time we are back in Bay city visiting family we hope we can stay with you again. Thank you for a great visit.
Rented my apartment for two days. Really nice place... middle of downtown. Apartment was super nice and very clean. Except for some strange noises from above my unit, it was a restful fun stay.
